As these discussions loom, parties are emphasizing their non-negotiable positions. The left has made it clear that they are committed to fighting against changes that they perceive as harmful to the French populace. "We have a very demanding party; we will come and discuss," insists a leader from the left, "but if we find out that the conditions have not been met, and that they are mocking us or that it is not in the interest of the French people, we will stand up and leave."
This assertion demonstrates the seriousness with which opposition parties are prepared to defend their principles, indicating that if they feel sidelined or disrespected, they will not hesitate to withdraw from negotiations.
