After more than forty years of loyalty, François Lamy leaves the Socialist Party (PS) to join Yannick Jadot’s campaign team, ecologist candidate in the presidential election. “A difficult decision, which is the result of a personal reflection process, confirms François Lamy. Since 2017, without deserting the PS, I worked with others to try to consider a common candidacy from the Left government up to environmentalists. It did not work. We must draw the consequences. We are in the time of action and I do not want to testify or be spectator. For several months, I listen to Yannick Jadot and I realized that I had no disagree with him. The candidate of social-ecology, it’s him. “
François Lamy announced his decision to make his card from the PS to Olivier Faure, Thursday, October 7, by phone. “Olivier Faure told me that he would not try to convince me. I stopped my choice after the Congress of Villeurbanne [from 18 to 19 September], who had to be that of the refoundation of the PS, but that n. ‘was not the case. It was necessary to imagine a new political offer with the ecologists. The PS got rid of all its components that were holding left leadership. Today, it can no longer represent it all Entire. It will be necessary to invent, in the long term, a new political formation, a kind of UDF from the left. “
No debauchass strategy
François Lamy will play a role of political advisor “and Swiss knife” within the ecologist system. “I have the experience of several presidential campaigns. I will accompany the current team, and give strategic, tactical or programmatic advice. I will also be able to connect with the left-wing partners.”
François Lamy, former MP, Mayor of Palaiseau and Deputy Minister of the City (2012-2014) was, for twenty-two years, the nearest adviser to Martine Aubry before getting angry with her in 2019. “I do not I am not in the scaffolding of a collective departure. Neither in a split process within the PS. I will not seek nothing personnel in the Jadot campaign. I have been doing politics since the age of 14, and It’s too difficult to see my political camp in this state. The Jadot campaign can be a dynamic element of reconstruction. “In Europe Ecology-Les Verts, we indicate that there is no strategy debauchaging set up. On the other hand, it is confirmed that Yannick Jadot discusses with many people in other left-hand formations. Nothing prohibits thinking that the transfer of François Lamy to the direct competitor team of Anne Hidalgo on the left, will not be the last of the list.
