Julien Dray believes that "it is urgent" because "the left is dying" – Le Point

Julien Dray, Vice President PS in the Ile-de-France region, said Sunday that there was “urgent” to recover for the left, who “dies”, prompting many reactions on the left. “I think it is urgent, left, is dying,” he has said in the program “The big event” (Europe 1 / Le Monde / i & gt; TV ) Echoing the formula Manuel Valls in June to the National Council of the Socialist Party, “Yes, the left can die.” “What I do not want is that in two years the results of my activist life, it is going to convince leftist voters to vote for Nicolas Sarkozy because of the need to block Le Pen” explained the elected Essonne

Before continuing:. “We have a few months, maybe even weeks, to stop what is happening, this incredible situation where left to spend more time fighting between it (…) where everyone distributes left of patents to each other (…) where (multiply) the stupid controversies which we do not understand (…) then one is left when you are five Sundays we are right when you’re twelve Sunday. “

The bill on the business, which aims to extend work on Sundays and open regulated professions, presented Wednesday by Emmanuel Macron, arouses strong reluctance among many socialists elected as Martine Aubry, who intend to make amend weigh significantly. The main stumbling block is the figure of 12 Sundays per year worked in the draft bill, the PS wishing to bring it back to “5-7 Sunday.” Recognizing that “mistakes” “have been committed,” Julien Dray called for “a new big bang left.”

“Eliminated power”

Asked in the “12/13 Sunday” on France 3 on the remarks of Julien Dray stating that “the left is dying,” Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, first secretary of the PS, said: “It is not wrong in the sense that If we are divided and we are before the departmental elections, if we are in the socialist criticaillerie them or against political left each other, well, we will be eliminated from the first round of local elections, disposed of regional elections, and tomorrow removed from power. “

” I I call for compromise, compromise between socialists and communists, compromise between socialists and environmentalists, and there is a capacity to together in the first round of the departmental and regional elections. ” “If the PS dies, dies the left (…) The PS can die, the PS can be a political party that does not weigh on election issues,” he acknowledged.

When asked also to the “Forum Radio J” on the remarks of Julien Dray, Jean-Marie Le Guen, State Secretary for Relations with Parliament, said: “The left, it turns it is changing, and it’s painful transformation. ” “I’m scared for example, the blindness of Jean-Luc Mélenchon (Left Front) which do not draw conclusions in the (legislative) part of the Dawn by refusing to decide between the UMP and the National Front. He sends a message that is dramatic (…) namely that the FN is not a threat of a different nature than the UMP, that is to say, he is involved in the trivialization of the National Front I regret that. ”
