“No PS personality will enter his government,” maintains Olivier Faure

“I think that no PS personality will join his government”supports Friday September 6 on France Inter Olivier Faure, first secretary of the Socialist Party, after the nomination of Michel Barnier to the post of Prime Minister. The leader of the socialists assures not to have “no doubt about it”.

Olivier Faure assures that this nomination represents a turning point towards the right. He thus evokes the “votes passed” of the former senator and deputy “on the decriminalization of homosexuality, on the refusal to reimburse abortion”. “On immigration, he wants to restrict the right to asylum, the conditions of arrival for family reunification, eliminate state medical aid and on pensions he is for [un recul de l’âge de départ à] 65 years old”he protests.

The PS deputy of Seine-et-Marne denounces the “incongruous appointment” of the former European Commissioner, seeing it as a “real democratic denial”, “a democratic betrayal”He recalls that during the early legislative elections two months ago, “The French have placed the New Popular Front in the lead” and notes that despite these results, the new head of government “came from the party that had the lowest score.”

Olivier Faure castigates the choice made by Emmanuel Macron on Thursday, accusing him of having “placed under the control of the extreme right” And “to place itself at the barycenter of the right and the extreme right. The leader of the socialists considers in fact that the extreme right “is [désormais] “kings and queens” and that “Marine Le Pen is ultimately the one who decided who would be Prime Minister by saying that she would not necessarily censor him”. He is thus convinced that when Michel Barnier “says he will govern with everyone, he is actually addressing the extreme right, whose survival he has understood very well depends on it”.
