The leadership of the French Socialist Party subscribes to the proposals of Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party, La France insoumise. The Socialist Party press release having just been made public, only online versions of the French press reported on it this Friday at the start of the morning.
In its statement, the leadership of the Socialist Party says ” yes to the proposals of the program of La France insoumise with a view to an agreement in the legislative elections, such as the increase in the minimum wage to 1,400 euros net per month, retirement at 60, ecological planning, the Sixth Republic, but also the disregard of ” some rules » European.
It is of course historical. And this is the beginning of an answer to the question posed by the front page of Release : the ” left ” are they ” reconcilable »?
Being reminded of the formula of the former Socialist Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who had deplored the existence of leftists, according to him, ” irreconcilable », Jean-Luc Mélenchon, in Release this morning, is confident. In an interview prior to the PS press release, the head of La France insoumise, who came third with 22% of the vote in the first round of the presidential election on April 10, talks about the construction of a “ new ecological and social block. Everything is changing, the Socialist Party is ready to break with the neoliberal line, it’s not nothing “, Modestly appreciates the ex-candidate of La France insoumise.
Assuring in this interview that he is not ” hegemonic » and that he does not want « humiliate someone », Jean-Luc Mélenchon said to Freed that he wants ” that everyone stays as it is » and agrees on « a break line. This is what will make us strong “, he predicts, welcoming in passing the gesture of Arthur Germain, son of the former socialist candidate, Anne Hidalgo, who voted for him and not for his mother in the first round of the presidential election, a gesture that Jean- Luc Mélenchon found “ classroom “, he says again to Release.
Anne Hidalgo on edge
This is not going to restore serenity to Anne Hidalgo. Defeated in the first round with 1.7% of the vote, the mayor of Paris does not take off against the leadership of the Socialist Party. In Release always, someone close to this direction says that on the phone, recently, Anne Hidalgo told him ” yelled at it for twelve minutes (…) She continues to think that in two years the social democratic line will be in the majority “. In the same newspaper, another PS executive said of Anne Hidalgo that she ” was nothing at PS before », and that she « will be nothing after “.
Hope on the left
But this left alliance, the French who claim to be from the left, do they want it? To put it in a formula, there is no photo. According to an Odoxa survey for Le Figaro, 86% of left-wing sympathizers want an alliance of the left in the legislative elections, including 70% who want an alliance with La France insoumise, by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. A left-wing alliance that appears as ” obvious », notes accordingly Le Figaro.
