A Socialist Party and a Constitutional Coup

There's discontent in the Socialist Party over the alliance with La France Insoumise. Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol and Hélène Geoffroy want out again. Éric Ciotti's party is defining its political course in the National Assembly - trotting faithfully along behind the National Rally, the most powerful force on the right. And Gabriel Attal sent letters to his ministers laying out the cap on their budgets for 2025 - for many a political move, given the fact that Attal's government lost an election over a month ago now.
