Macron's call for an 'équipe de France' in EU Parliament shot down

"We will not score an own-goal against our side in the European Parliament, where we sit as a political group. The members of the delegation belong to the team on the left that wants to change the European Union," Sylvie Guillaume, chairwoman of the joint list between French Socialist Party (PS) and Place Publique, told EURACTIV.
[...]
"Our European delegation will not attend the government's invitation on Friday. As we are committed to fulfilling the promises made to our voters, we will not accept any of their instructions on the positions to take in the next five years of our mandate," said Manon Aubry, who leads the [LFI]'s list.
[...]
"This meeting comes much too early, some groups in the European Parliament are not even formed. Today we are only negotiating the roadmap," said EELV MEP Karima Delli.
[...]
"I cannot be part of any 'team' that includes the Rassemblement National. I feel closer to a Spanish socialist than I do to a French nationalist," [PS/Place Publique Raphaël Glucksmann] said on Twitter.


Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
