The former Socialist Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve denounced Friday, September 16, the “absurdity of the debate which has committed to the left”, where the communist Fabien Roussel was taxed as “right” because ” He raises the question of work value “.
Recalling that François Mitterrand explained in 1981 “how important it was that we were fighting for the French to regain their job” and how important it was for those who benefited from it that “work is not an alienation”, Mr. Cazeneuve criticized on France 2 “the state of unreason, the absurdity of the debates as they were committed to the left”:
“Qualify Fabien Roussel [National Secretary of the PCF] of right -wing man on the ground that he poses the question of work value and says how much the history of the left is linked to combat for work, for The release of those who work with a certain form of enslavement and for access to dignity through work shows that we are in a situation of absolute absurdity [on the left]. “
The boss of the French Communist Party (PCF) and former presidential candidate, Fabien Roussel, had declared on Friday at the Fête de l’Humanité that “the left must defend work and not be the left of allowances and minima Social “, triggering a rain of criticisms within the Nuts, including the deputy EELV Sandrine Rousseau, for whom” work value “is” still a right value “.
“Sharing working time, decrease in working time, four -day week, that, I would have followed, but put the work as the only value of the left, it is not possible and particularly for a communist “, notably criticized on franceinfo the eco -feminist.
manifest for” another left “
For Mr. Cazeneuve, the union of the left must be done around “a minimum of attachment to Europe, the Republic, the ecological transition, the solidarity”. “I do not confuse, for my part, left and extremism,” added the former Prime Minister of François Hollande, returning to his manifesto for “another left” published on September 4.
ensuring that it has gathered 4,000 signatures today for this very critical text with regard to the Nuts, coalition, among others, of the PS – which he left – and the rebellious France of Jean -Luc Mélenchon, Mr. Cazeneuve announced the “structuring of this initiative” in a “reflection movement”.
It will be a question, he developed, “without partisan label”, of “pushing the current leaders, in particular of the left, to change their orientation, because the orientation in which they were committed will gradually promote – and as excess, outrageous will develop – the extreme right “.
Among the first 400 signatories of the text are in particular the mayor of Le Mans, Stéphane Le Foll, the former first secretary of PS Jean-Christophe Cambadélis and the president of the Occitanie region, Carole Delga.
