The socialist president of the Occitanie region, Carole Delga, also judges on franceinfo that the left will “lose” “as long as we have La France insoumise as leader”.
“I think Raphaël Glucksmann would be a very good head of the list”, estimates Saturday September 16 on franceinfo Carole Delga, the socialist president of the Occitanie region. The Place Publique MEP announced on Wednesday September 13 that he was running for the European elections in June 2024. Raphaël Glucksmann wishes to form an alliance with the Socialist Party, as in 2019. “We have been fighting common battles in the European Parliament for four years. We have a common vision. We have, I think, a common desire. I think we will campaign together”, he declared Friday September 15 on France Inter. For the moment, nothing has been decided between the center-left Place publique movement and the Socialist Party, but Carole Delga “wish he will once again be at the head of this left-wing union list”.
For a “deeply republican” left
The PS president of the Occitanie region believes that this union of the left is necessary “Of course”. Nevertheless, “if the left wants to win, it must be deeply republican, it must reassure and it must stop giving lessons to everyone and being a threat to ways of life”. For example, Carole Delga “I’m fed up with this society where we stigmatize those who drive or eat meat”. An allusion to Sandrine Rousseau’s comments this summer during the fires which affected many countries. “Meat consumption is one of the causes of what is happening in Algeria, Spain, Greece, China, Arizona and everywhere”wrote the environmentalist MP on the social network X.
If Carole Delga is in favor of a “union of the left”she has “always indicated his opposition to having a left united behind La France insoumise”. Because, she adds, “as long as we have La France insoumise as leader, we will lose!” The elected socialist believes that the “Nupes only exists in the National Assembly” and ensures that “when you go to the territories, no one talks to you about it”. The PS president of the Occitanie region displays her disagreements with La France insoumise. For example, she will not participate in the demonstration against police violence on September 23. Because, like the communist Fabien Roussel, she is “completely disagree when we say ‘the police kill'”.
“The left must talk to the working classes again”
Carole Delga shows more sympathy for the deputy from the North and secretary general of the PCF. “With Fabien Roussel, we share the need to deal with people’s real problems”, she declares. This PS tenor believes that “the left must talk to the working classes again”.

For this, she “must work on questions of purchasing power, on an educational revolution because today our teachers do not have the means to educate our children so that they can dream big, on questions of health, safety”. On the other hand, Carole Delga considers that the left “must stop talking about wokism, the right to be lazy. Work is fundamental. I am the left who loves work and works”.
