Two days after the results of the first round of the presidential election and the bitter failure of the PS, the campaign spokesperson for Anne Hidalgo and mayor of Nancy, Mathieu Klein, acknowledged on France Bleu Lorraine the end of his party. “The tool has had its day“, but not its values, according to the elected representative on the left.
A call to rally… without France Insoumise?
“To fight against inequalities for social justice, to make ecological transition and social justice two sides of the same coin, to have republican values pegged to the body. Defend the European Union and European construction when war has returned to European soil. For me, these are values that are more relevant than ever”. listed Mathieu Klein.
After such an acknowledgment of failure, the mayor of Nancy therefore calls on the left to rebuild before the next legislative elections. “We must today, with ecologists, socialists, communists, we must ask ourselves the question: what are the projects, the values, the ideas, the fights that we want to continue to lead because democracy needs the left.”
Blocking the National Rally
A hand outstretched to the entire left… or almost. “The rebellious have made the choice not to qualify in the left of government, so I also leave them to their commitments. But the voters who voted Jean-Luc Mélenchon, like those who voted Emmanuel Macron, I believe that many of them share our values. We must offer them, as soon as the legislative elections are held, a new platform.”
Before this deadline, there is the second round of the presidential election: Mathieu Klein calls on voters to vote Emmanuel Macron for “save the republic”“.
