The Socialist Party’s summer universities in Blois were not an opportunity for reconciliation on Friday, August 30. The party is divided between those in favor of autonomy and those in favor of the NPF.
They arrived in marching order behind their candidate for Matignon, Lucie Castets, this Friday August 30 in Blois (Loir-et-Cher).I feel somaintained by the four forces of the New Popular Front, and I do not have the impression that this is denied by the activists“, she assured. But during the summer universities of the Socialist Party (PS), several currents of the party expressed some doubts, notably on its capacity to unite.
Local elected officials, but also leading figures of the Socialist Party, internal opponents of Olivier Faure.We will not be demonstrating on September 7th“, declared Hélène Geoffroy, the president of the National Council of the PS. For this opposition, it is up to the Socialist Party alone to decide on a Prime Minister from the democratic left, capable of compromise.
“The gathering that is there is not the one that lets itself be seduced by noise and fury, that constantly builds controversies that permanently damage our democracy.“, insists Michaël Delafosse, the (PS) mayor of Montpellier (Hérault). Finally, another hypothesis is making its way: that of Bernard Cazeneuve at Matignon.
