The former Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, opposed to the agreement between the Socialist Party (PS) and La France Insoumise (LFI) within the new Ecological and Social Popular Union (Nuts), believes that “another left is possible, which breaks with excess and sectarianism “, in a manifesto published on Saturday September 3 On the website of the Sunday Journal (JDD) .
This “manifesto” is signed by 400 left-wing personalities, including almost all opponents of the pro-naked line of the current first secretary of the PS, Olivier Faure. We find there the mayor of Le Mans, Stéphane Le Foll, the ex-Prime Secretary of the PS Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, or the leader of the minority current Hélène Geoffroy, mayor of Vaulx-en-Velin. The president of the Occitanie region, Carole Delga, and the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo -ex -presidential candidate -are not among the signatories of the tribune.
“Grandiloquent postures of the insubordination “
Having the observation of a “devastated political landscape”, Bernard Cazeneuve, who left the PS after the agreement between this party and LFI, believes that “neither the relative anemiée majority [of macronists], nor the opposition mainly Animated by radicality does not seem to be able to meet the expectations of our compatriots “.
“It is very likely that the unbridled communication of a devitalized majority, without compass or project, and that theatrical postures of radicalized oppositions will not be enough to respond to the democratic exhaustion which deprives the Republic of its vital force” , he continues.
“It would be wrong to be satisfied with the grandiloquent postures of the rebellion, by accepting the marriage of inconsistency and violence, in a nihilism where anger would prevent the advent of hope”, adds-t -It in this manifesto. For the signatories, “the left in which we believe is steeped in the spirit of nuance”.
“Republicans on the left”
In this context, “So we come back to us, Republicans on the left and wherever we come, to organize ourselves to bring together our forces and combine our efforts in order to give the French the hope to which they are entitled “, still writes Bernard Cazeneuve.
The ex-government chief launches “an appeal to refoundation, and therefore to the constitution of a collective dynamic”, and specifies “the mandate of the activists of hope: to demonstrate day after day than another left is possible, which breaks with excess and sectarianism “.
Among the signatories are also several former socialist ministers (Christian Eckert, Frédéric Cuvillier, Jean Glavany, Michel Sapin or Catherine Trautmann), socialist mayors (like Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol in Rouen), the president of the Brittany region, Loïg Chesnais-Girard, “dissident” deputies of the Nuts, the presidents of the department, the senators, but also of the members of the Radical Left Party (PRG), including its president, Guillaume Lacroix.
