The Republic on the March (LREM), the political force of the French president Emmanuel Macron and which brings together social democrats and conservatives, launched this Saturday a strange proposal to the PSOE. The French formation reached out to the Spanish socialists and others from southern Europe to forge a alliance after the European elections on May 26. «We note that, especially in southern countries, there are social democrats with whom we have points of convergence. I don’t know if within the same group, maybe not, but maybe after the European elections, depending on the results, we can build a coalition,” the head of LREM, Stanislas Guerini, told Efe.
The proposal draws even more attention due to the theoretical alliance that maintains Macron’s party with Ciudadanos. In fact, Albert Rivera has been showing off his proximity to the French president for years. Guerini noted that his party “continues to maintain a friendly and constructive dialogue with Ciudadanos,” but warned that there is a red line. This is making an agreement with the extreme right, which in the Spanish case translates into making an agreement with Vox.
Rivera’s They took great care to explain in Europe that they did not reach any agreement with the party led by Santiago Abascal to end almost four decades of socialist governments in Andalusia, but the fact is that it is the twelve Vox deputies who support an Andalusian Executive of which the liberals are part.
The Ciudadanos candidate for Moncloa has vetoed in advance any agreement with Pedro Sánchez, which, according to all the polls, would be the only viable alternative to a new socialist Executive in coalition with Podemos and supported in Parliament by, at least, Esquerra and the PNV. Therefore, The only option that Rivera contemplates is to reissue the Andalusian-style pact. And that, no matter how much ideological affinity there may be with Macron, is unacceptable for the French president. Even more so when his main political rival in the neighboring country is Marine Le Pen, towards whom Abascal and Vox are full of praise as soon as an opportunity arises.
Remote option
The possibility of an alliance between La República en Marcha and the Spanish and Portuguese socialists, the only ones of their European family that currently remain strong alongside the British and Swedish Labor Party, It’s more than remotesince in the Strasbourg chamber conservatives, social democrats and liberals are grouped together regardless of their nationality in the same parliamentary group.
That is why Guerini’s offer It sounds more like a warning to Ciudadanos than a real proposal to the PSOE. However, although in different groups in the European Chamber, LREM and the socialists share a deep European sentiment and the full conviction that progress must be made in community integration. Rivera and Ciudadanos also share this sentiment. The problem is that his eventual parliamentary partners from Vox defend an ultra-nationalist message, more typical of eurosceptics than those in favor of strengthening community structures. And that in France is something unacceptable.
