Resolved
YES

Resolves Yes, if in the first round of the upcoming French legislative snap election, on June 30th, the following parties have formed a union, and present a single candidacy per legislative seat race:

  • LFI: France Insoumise

  • PS: Partie socialiste

  • EELV: Les verts

  • PCF: Parti communiste

Explicitly irrelevant to this question are NPA-A, B or C ("le NPA ? oui, mais lequel ?"), LO, PRG, Générations, or other parties.

Will resolve Yes even if there is no common agenda, as long as there is an electoral agreement and 1 candidate per race. If there is splintering amongs the parties cited above regarding participation to such union, for instance if someone decides to still be in the race despite not being the designated union candidate, or if some people decide to leave their party and form another, I will resolve according to the spirit of the question, ie. still resolves Yes if this is contained to a handful of seat, or the splinter party is minor.

Resolves No otherwise.

No formal party splitting or going out of the alliance among the listed one. (Place Publique did, but was not in the list stated in the description of this market) 

However, some candidates are presented in violation of the electoral agreements. My current list follows, mostly based on perusing national newspapers. If you have others that I missed, please reply here with a source (including local newspaper, or reliable source like tweets of candidate themselves)

- Amy Bah (PS) in the LFI-designated race  ex-Quattenens (1ere circonscription du Nord)

- Corbières and Garrido, ex-LFI, at the latest news still intending to run as independant (LFI-designated candidate still running in these races, 7e et 5e circonscription de la Seine Saint Denis) 

- Simmonet (ex-LFI), running against LFI-designated C. Verzeletti (15e circonscription de Paris) 

- Mohamed Amad (LFI), in PCF-designated race (4e circonscription de la Seine Saint Denis)

Good job! I bet you're proud of yourself.

Deadline for candidacy declaration is Monday 16th, and there is no write-in option. (Will not move the resolution date for this market, but it's gonna a sure Yes or No pretty soon)

I was gonna bet NO until I saw the final part where this question stops being objective.
