The left radical party denounces the multiplication of applications and reserves the right to appear on its behalf if the gathering remains untraceable.

Guillaume Lacroix, the President of the Radical Left Party (PRG), is very worried and a little annoyed. He believes that the situation on the left is sufficiently “tragic”, with seven candidates declared in the presidential election, and that it is urgent that his party “take his responsibilities” at six months of the first round. Saturday, October 23, on the occasion of the NATIONAL PRG Convention, it will activate to adopt “a neutrality of our party”. “I will propose that we would not get any candidate for the moment,” says Lacroix. Neither the Socialist Party [PS], nor the ecologists, nor Arnaud Montebourg … we do not want to be referee between one and The others in this sac race where we forget that in the end everyone falls. “
For the PRG president, the current situation on the left “looks like a macabre dance. A year ago, I preached a coalition and a great primary of the left. We were mocked. But I see that The left has fallen to its duty of gathering. The existential crises of each other, it is enough. Otherwise, we go to the wall “.
A potential of 320 sponsorships
Guillaume Lacroix therefore decided to give “until December” to the various candidates in the running to “imagine a rally”. “As the smallest denominator of the left, and as I did have a shadow to anyone, I am even ready to hold the pen to write a government agreement. I want to be the Reconculmationer to rebuild the union of The Republican Left. If it is nothing but a stable war, we will have to organize the funeral of the left “, he warns.
This Government Agreement desired by the PRG would be “a programmatic platform developed between the different parties to lead France. As for the choice of the incarnation in the presidential election, “it will come from naturally,” says Lacroix. So far, the PRG president discussed with Yannick Jadot, the ecologist candidate; He also met Arnaud Montebourg, Anne Hidalgo quite recently, and he even had exchanges, at his request, with Jean-Luc Mélenchon “.
Given the background differences between the different candidates, his wish seems very pious, but “wait a little, he assures, you might be surprised. There are possible axes of reconciliation”. If, by mid-December, his prediction does not realize, “everyone will take his responsibilities,” said Mr. Lacroix, who does not exclude that “the PRG presents himself a candidate for the presidential election”. The Radical Party has a potential of 320 sponsorships on the 500 required to be admitted to the first round “and, for the moment, I keep them for me,” says his president. This is not good news for Arnaud Montebourg, for example, who does not rely on a fairly powerful device to be able to be quite quiet about the acquisition of sesame.
