Insoumise France does not belong to “the great history of the French left”, believes Bernard Cazeneuve

Insoumise France does not belong “to the great history of the French left” and is there “manifestation of extremism”, estimates former Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, on franceinfo Monday October 23. According to him, the socialist party must “cut ties” with the party founded by Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Bernard Cazeneuve denounces the “process of profound debasement of the left”since the Socialist Party, the Ecologist Pole, France Insoumise and the Communist Party signed an electoral agreement during the legislative elections of 2022 to form the Nupes, an agreement pending in recent days while the PS announced a moratorium after the LFI positions on the conflict between Hamas and Israel.

Olivier Faure, “last secretary” of the PS?

He claims to have had “reason” to have been part of those who considered that the party founded by Jean-Luc Mélenchon “did not belong to the great history of the French left and that he was the manifestation of extremism”. It is now necessary “cut ties” with La France insoumise after having made the “observation of excesses and extremism” party.

He calls for “reconstitute the left around healthier and more solid bases”by bringing together the policies that “believe in a credible, responsible and audacious government left in its proposals”. He warns the leadership of the PS which, according to him, “fractured the party” with the signing of the Nupes agreement. “The way things are going”he fears that Olivier Faure will “be the last secretary of the PS”.
