Friday, May 6, the agreement between the Socialist Party and the other left-wing parties, with a view to the legislative elections of June 2022, was validated by the national council of the PS.

Thursday evening, May 5, 62% of the members of the National Council of the Socialist Party voted in favor of an agreement with the other left-wing parties for the legislative elections. The ballot took place in a stormy atmosphere. The first secretary of the PS, Olivier Faure, was thus taken to task during his speech. “We have not become rebellious (…) it is in this reciprocal listening, in this permanent exchange between us that we must move forward”, he said at the end of the council.

Already, dissidents are protesting against this agreement with France Insoumise. “I am not a Macronist, I am not a Mélenchonist and I defend a project of this left of reality, of this left of the field”, assumes Carole Delga, PS president of the Occitanie region, who has shown her support for legislative candidates who are not invested by this coalition. The left parties will meet on Saturday May 7 to formalize this union.
