Questioned before the National Assembly, the leader of the Socialist Party added however that he would only be head of government “in dialogue with [ses] partners” of the New Popular Front.
At the question “Do you feel capable of being Prime Minister or not?”the First Secretary of the Socialist Party (PS), Olivier Faure, responded favorably. “I am ready to take on this role”he declared on Tuesday, July 9, from the National Assembly, while negotiations between the left-wing parties began to designate a candidate for Matignon on the evening of the second round of the legislative elections. He added shortly after that he would exercise this function on the sole condition that this be done “in dialogue, with our partners”.
“I do not agree that anyone should impose their point of view on anyone. There cannot be for anyone a claim to hegemony, a desire to impose themselves on others without ever having any dialogue.”continued the Seine-et-Marne MP. “The Popular Front will only work on one condition: that it knows how to operate through consensus and democracy,” he stressed. In addition, Olivier Faure promised to “governing, week after week”and to find agreements that avoid “go through 49.3”.
