Olivier Faure, candidate for re -election, recalled, Tuesday, his desire to unite with other left partners, “as often as possible, but not at all costs”, responding to criticism against the agreement concluded In May with rebellious France (LFI), Europe Ecologie-les Verts (EELV) and the Communist Party (PCF) having led to the creation of the new Ecological and Social People’s Union (Nuts).
Saturday and Sunday, two stands called to “refound” the party: one was on the initiative of the historic opponent Hélène Geoffroy, mayor of Vaulx-en-Velin (Rhône), the other of three Local elected officials close to the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, and the president of the Occitanie region, Carole Delga, both refractory to the Nutples. “They are right to want to rethink the Socialist Party and the left. Me, that’s what I have been trying to do for four years,” quipped on Franceinfo Olivier Faure.
Defending the clip, the first secretary said that it was necessary to behave like “those who want to carry the whole of the left towards victory. This is how we will make ourselves love”. “If we do not claim this coalition, if we leave it to others, how do we think of becoming the best, the first?”, He asked.
Saturday, Hélène Geoffroy, head of the minority current standing the socialists, launched hostilities in a text baptized “refound, gather, govern”. The one who was the only opponent of Olivier Faure at the 2021 congress, where her orientation text had collected 28 % of the votes, wants to retry her luck on the same line: to fight against “erasure” of the PS which she accuses Olivier Faure . In its ranks, it has several “elephants”, such as ex-deputy Patrick Menucci or the former Minister Stéphane Le Foll.
European European elections
One hundred and fifty socialists signed a platform published in the JDD on Sunday, baptized “Refoundations”, carried by the mayor of Rouen Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, the Paris councilor Lamia El Aaraje, and the vice-president of the Occitania region, Claire Fita.
“We have to get out of a disappointing electoral cycle that has been going on for almost five years. It is the famous inventory right that will allow us to reinvent ourselves,” they told the press on Monday. For the moment, neither Anne Hidalgo nor Carole Delga have signed this gallery, but the presence of their loved ones leaves little doubt about their intentions. The signatories underline that the Nutps agreement is “the product of the comatic state of the social and ecological left, a unitary electoral response expected by the people on the left in the face of their dispersion, a cyclical response aimed at preserving their presence at the National Assembly and Act there together “.
Beyond the Congress, Olivier Faure opponents already have their eyes on the European elections of 2024, where they refuse any negotiation around ‘A common list with LFI. Wishing to be able to chat with LFI, “to take them to our positions” of “convinced Europeans”, Olivier Faure said on Tuesday evening that “be we can find reasons to move together on the European elections, in which case , there is no justification to have separate lists, either we do not succeed and there will be separate lists “. For him, “it is the project that dictates alliances and not the opposite”.
