The first secretary of the Socialist Party (PS), Olivier Faure, advocated, on Saturday, August 31, for a single candidacy of the left for the presidential elections of 2027, warning that the lack of“union”the socialists will act alone.
In front of a public committed to his cause, but in the absence of his opponents Carole Delga, President of Occitania, Hélène Geoffroy, Mayor of Vaulx-en-Velin, and Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, Mayor of Rouen, the deputy of Seine-et-Marne challenged his partners of the New Popular Front: “We are both ready to go alone, just as we are ready to go with them. Now it will all depend on how each of us behaves.”.
“If the path exists, then we will be united for the presidential elections of 2027. But if that path does not exist because the behaviors do not allow it” and so? “The battle of egos is back”SO “we will go alone”.
“Unity can be cultivated”He continued, assuring that“There will be no blog post telling us which way to go, no tweet telling us where the address is”in an attack on the leader of La France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who often distils his comments, analyses or criticisms through these different channels.
If the choice of a candidate “must go through a primary, will go through a primary”He added, assuring that there would be no “No self-proclaimed candidacy”but “a common process that leads to victory”.
He also called on activists to be proud and “loans” for the new electoral deadlines. “Now that we are back in Ligue 1, get ready to attack the Champions League”he insisted. “If there are no socialists, there is no New Popular Front” AND “There is no hope of governing”He stated, stating that “the balance of the left depends on us”.
Returning to his party’s internal debates on strategy towards Macron, who is still looking for a Prime Minister, he warned: “We want to govern”but “not under any conditions”asking “restore a central place” in PS. “How could we imagine for a single moment that we could become this force again if we are the disruptors of the left?” AND “From the dream born from the elections of July 7th? »asked.
