The Nouvelle Union populaire écologique et sociale, NUPES (New
Ecological and Social People's Union) was a left-wing electoral
alliance of political parties in France. Formed on May Day 2022, the
alliance included La France Insoumise, the Socialist Party,
the French Communist Party, The Ecologists, Ensemble!
and Génération·s, and their respective smaller partners. It was
the first wide left-wing political alliance since the Plural Left in
the 1997 French legislative election.
The participants share several proposals, including the increase in
the minimum wage after tax to €1,500 per month, the return to
retirement at 60, the freezing of the prices of basic necessities,
ecological development, and the establishment of a Sixth French
Republic.
Several tensions arose after the legislative elections between the
members of the coalition, which failed to get the absolute majority in
the National assembly.
In the aftermath of Hamas's attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 and the
subsequent Israel–Hamas war, the Socialist Party voted 54%–46% for a "moratorium" on participating in the alliance due to LFI's refusal to
explicitly denounce Hamas as a terrorist organization.
