Idir Boumertit (born 4 October, 1974 in Lyon) is a French politician and member of La France insoumise (LFI).
[citation needed] Approached in spring 2022 by the Union Populaire to represent La France Insoumise in the next elections, Idir Boumertit had declined the proposal.
[3] With the creation of the Nouvelle Union Populaire Ecologique et Sociale (NUPES), the nomination of the candidate for the fourteenth constituency of the Rhône was very eventful.
[4] Two candidates, Michèle Picard (mayor of Vénissieux and member of the PCF) and journalist Taha Bouhafs of La France insoumise claimed the nomination.
Bouhafs was nominated as the official NUPES candidate, but after accusations of sexism and sexual violence were made against him, he was eventually forced to withdraw.
