The Socialist Party will meet Saturday in the National Council (parliament) to save the different programs or “motions” in anticipation of the congress of Poitiers (5-7 June), which will be a cardinal stage of PS in view of deadlines 2017. The first secretary of the PS, Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, aims to bring together the majority of the text socialist sensibilities and readily recalls the number of its supporters in the party federations and among parliamentarians or local elected officials. According to the PS and a government source, the text should be signed by the Prime Minister Manuel Valls, which is sure to strengthen the taunts of the left wing which speaks freely of Motion “Camba-Valls.”
As always in this type of event, scholars and haggling behind the scenes discussions continued until the last moment and all motions should be known that in Saturday morning, a few hours of holding the national council . “There is a little game that the PS is to never show his motion to another, who might be tempted to copy”, enjoys a socialist tenor. The former boss of the PS and mayor of Lille, Martine Aubry, very influential in the party and has often expressed strong reservations or even opposition, with regard to government policy, always maintained doubt Thursday on its intentions.
Marine Aubry more discreet
His parliamentary and local supporters who were to meet Tuesday to refine their positions have still not done, leaving “completely open,” said one socialist leader, namely rallying the mayor of Lille to the motion of Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, filing its own motion, or book choices. Martine Aubry is more discreet and did not react to the investment measures for announced Wednesday by Manuel Valls, widely seen as a sign of the government in his direction and that of the left wing of the Socialist Party, which advocates of such initiatives. However, the currents of the left wing of the PS and “rebellious” party managed to develop a joint motion, choosing as first signatory, that is to say as a contender for the post of first secretary of the Christian MP Paul, near Martine Aubry.
“PS activists have always taken”
In the camp at favorable Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, it is ensured that the joint motion Cache poorly persistent divisions and that the choice of Christian Paul is only a stopgap, because of the fierce rivalry or resentment between the other potential candidates. The fact remains that the motion of the left of the party is likely to lead the Congress of Poitiers, but the campaign will open up to the vote of socialist activists on the various motions, May 21 “PS activists remain caught between Legitimism, that is to say, the majority in support, not to destabilize the party and at the same time, they are generally more to the left than their leaders,” summarizes university Rémi Lefebvre, close to the left wing of the party.
On May 28, the militants will decide between the first signatories of the two motions led the way to designate the first secretary of the party, whose appointment will be confirmed at Poitiers. Jean-Christophe Cambadélis currently appointed head of the party only by the National Council wishes to be knighted this time by the militants. Another motion will be filed by Karine Berger, national secretary of the PS for the Economy. She refuses the confrontation between “blocks” for congress, one around Jean-Christophe Cambadélis and that of the left of the party.
“Pole reformers”, the right wing of the PS, reserve his answer about his intentions until Friday. Its leaders have exposed to the first secretary points that are important to them, such as flexible labor market and vocational training. So also “poses for positions” in the future direction, squeaky responsible. A ‘militant’ motion filed by a national secretary, Florence Augier, is expected by Saturday. PS plays big with the Poitiers congress to be held a week after that of the UMP. Two major events of French political life that will point the perspective of 2017. The Socialists know they can not afford tears or excessive tension in Congress.
