“The PS needs a new direction” | EUROtoday

Read too Jérôme Guedj: “Socialists sincerely play the game of compromise” Did Olivier Faure let you know about his help after Saturday’s insults?

The first secretary should have estimated that this was not an incident critical sufficient to ship a message of help, if solely in non-public, to a spokesperson for the PS … Bruising can be on this type of relativism and avoidance of frank and clear speech, first to dam together with his personal. There are occasions when ambiguities and deafening silences are declines on values.

Since 2022, has the PS distanced sufficient with these on the left which you choose that they don’t share these values?

Last May, even earlier than the dissolution, I already mentioned that it was crucial to place an finish to a responsible angelism and naivety. The protection of universalism, secularism, the refusal of violence and brutalization, the rejection of racism, anti -Semitism and all discrimination should not negotiable fights. We can have variations in diploma on the left however there these are variations of nature with LFI. Politics begins with consistency on values.

What I recommend is to not return to a classic PS that accommodates liberal globalizationJérôme Guedj

So you propose to speculate your self within the June Congress to say this line?

A congress is an indication of a democratic vitality. We make a number of enjoyable the battles throughout the PS however in actuality, they are often useful: they make it potential to make clear the positions of every and to outline a transparent and coherent line for the get together. You should put an finish to the pot.

It is for that reason that I’ll take all my half on the June Congress to put on a transparent line. Faced with the brand new worldwide deal, to the specter of the nationwide rally, within the face of the excesses of LFI, and to construct the choice to ending macronism, the get together must redefine its doctrine, to refine its personal undertaking for France and to construct a extremely collective functioning.

So are you a candidate for the place of first secretary?

I’ll put all my power to defend for the PS the potential for being authentically on the left and really republican. There is not any option to make between the 2 (opposite to what a part of the left appears to assume). This is my place, the yellow synthesis of the Social Republic. It is that this singular orientation that we need to deliver to life on this congress, the one one which makes it potential to answer widespread aspirations of social justice and republican order. Priority is to forestall the irresistible strolling in direction of the ability of the RN.

Congress should additionally make it potential to outline a technique. The union of the left is critical, however with out programmatic content material and credible incarnation, it’s doomed to failure. I don’t need a PS who undergoes, nor a primary secretary whose plasticity could be the one high quality. Taking your danger is out of ambiguity. I took it personally to the final legislative elections in July 2024 by refusing LFI help and by defeating their candidate towards me.

But are you a candidate for the congress?

The energy of the PS is its collective framework. With the senator Laurence Rossignol and different activists and elected officers, we are going to file a normal contribution to feed the controversy which is able to make it potential to establish one of the best workforce. In a technique or one other, with others, as a result of I like this get together and its activists, I’ll take all my half.

Read too “I gave the PS”: Olivier Faure launched the Battle of the Socialist CongressBoris Vallaud additionally plans to submit a contribution. Are you not more likely to be too quite a few on the beginning line?

We can solely congratulate ourselves 1,000 flowers flourish and that others take the initiative to submit contributions. Again, it exhibits the vitality of the PS. All initiatives that open doorways and home windows and keep away from a frozen congress are welcome.

At the final congress, you supported Olivier Faure. Is the rupture consumed?

There is a brand new deal to the PS: if a number of socialist figures write normal contributions, it’s as a result of they need the get together to rework itself. You know what we are saying: the form is the background that rises to the floor. The ambiguity of PS governance is a mirrored image of the get together’s ambiguity on a variety of programmatic but in addition strategic questions. The PS wants to interrupt with these pretenses, to work, to say itself first within the relation to LFI, so sure it wants a brand new course in each sense of the phrase.

Would this imply that you may rally internally the historic opponents of Olivier Faure like Carole Delga, Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, Hélène Geoffroy and even François Hollande?

All playing cards should be rebatted. What I suggest is to not return to a classic PS which accommodates liberal globalization and renounces to upset the established order. Between social-liberalism and social-populist temptation, we should construct our personal path: that of republican patriotism and democratic socialism.

Place Public is organizing its congress this weekend. Should the PS work extra with Raphaël Glucksmann? Can he be a very good presidential candidate?

We have to deliver collectively the supporters of a resolutely republican, social, ecologist, European left who has not given up social fight and who embraced the ecological battle. As such, Raphaël Glucksmann as François Ruffin are meant to be a part of it. But everybody on the left should keep away from specializing in the presidential moron of the Fifth Republic.

The debates of the PS Congress ought to due to this fact not concentrate on the road to be adopted for the presidential election?

Don’t burn the steps. The congress should make it potential to find out the renewed methodology, to arrange this system and the technique for the presidential election, and earlier than for the municipal elections which will probably be a life -size check. He should not have the hidden goal of predicts a presidential candidate … Many assume that that is the that means of the third candidacy of Olivier Faure.

Should they’ve been prohibited as their arrival as a letter of the UDR deputies claimed?

On the shape, deputies are free to ask the folks they want to the National Assembly. But that some make the selection to introduce into the temple of the Republic those that conspire it it’s a contradiction which speaks volumes about their intentions.

Anti-Muslim racism exists, the latest fireplace of a mosque attests. We should battle it as discrimination in a extra resolved manner however not with the naivety of those that don’t see that the Muslim Brotherhood use Islamophobia as a Trojan horse towards the legal guidelines of the Republic. This is why I reject using this time period.

Several unions concern that the pension council stays a lifeless letter within the context of “war economy”. Do you share this concern?

The kangaroo of the day

The sentence of Emmanuel Macron which excludes any tax enhance is an issue. In republican patriotism, there may be tax patriotism. Rather than the unjust planing strokes affecting essentially the most fragile, the favored lessons, the center lessons, it’s a query of first mobilizing the best earnings, the best heritage, the businesses which have benefited from the sanitary, energetic, inflationary crises.

I additionally recalled my issues to the federal government in public session concerning the negotiations on pensions. The social companions, on our initiative, had been in a position to resume the thread of the dialogue to establish a simply and lasting answer, on the rely of the 2023 reform. Any strain on the social companions by invoking the worldwide context could be unacceptable. National safety and social mannequin are linked, let’s not oppose them unnecessarily.
