Anne Hidalgo, the candidate of the Socialist Party (PS) in the presidential election, has planned to organize a dinner, Wednesday, April 6, in the company of prominent representatives of his training. A meal that was not registered for any official agenda. At four days of the first round of the poll, during these agapes who were secretly wanted, he was not so much a question of negotiating at best the last straight line of a seasoned campaign than to launch, from yes and foremost, Large maneuvers for the recomposition of the PS and the left.
According to our information, at 8 pm, six guests must end up in the dining room of the Senate Questure, Boulevard Saint-Michel, in Paris: the inviting powers first, Anne Hidalgo, the Mayor of Paris, And Patrick Kanner, the President of the Socialist Group in the Senate. In their company: the former President of the Republic François Hollande, the Mayor of Lille, Martine Aubry, the President of the Occitanie Region, Carole Delga, the Mayor of Nantes and Campaign Director of Anne Hidalgo, Johanna Rolland. The former Prime Minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, was not available.
Yalta Nocturne
There is another brand absent, but who has not received any invitation card: Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the PS. Because in reality, for all these guests, the PS, in its present form, has lived. His first secretary surely too. In fact, Anne Hidalgo and Carole Delga have, many times in recent weeks, regretted that the PS has not, for five years, worked enough to win a consequent electorate.
The agenda of this Night Yalta is twofold. Organize the presidential after-election by reflecting on a new social democratic movement that would largely exceed the PS. A rally that could include, in a second step, ecologists, communists and left-wing radicals.
The second topic of discussion should focus on a common position to adopt on Sunday 10 April, in the evening of the first round. The moment and its emergency are important because Olivier Faure has planned to take the floor in order to put a strong act for the legislative elections, according to his entourage.
Pulse a new approach
For Anne Hidalgo, who could record the worst score of a socialist candidate in the presidential election, this dinner, the first stone of a large coalition, is crucial. It’s about taking the initiative to hope to participate in this recomposition. For François Hollande, who still hesitates to present themselves in the legislative elections, after preparing at the beginning of the year to be a possible ultimate appeal if the Mayor of Paris decided to withdraw from the race to the presidential election, it is to position themselves to play a must-see role in the future. But this future, the former president is considering without the current direction of the PS and his first secretary.
