It is traditional to the PS to prolong the suspense – even artificial – as long as possible. In preparation for the party congress in Poitiers, in June, the various teams have all waited the deadline, Saturday, April 11, to file their texts and signatories lists. The main uncertainty was based on the composition of the motion of the current majority. The rally – expected, but last minute – Martine Aubry provides the first signatory Jean-Christophe Cambadélis the keys to a large gathering, which also includes Manuel Valls and relatives of Francois Hollande. “We built a text with an agreement on substance, said the mayor of Lille at a press conference Friday. This is a joint motion prepared where nobody agreed with each other, where nobody has gone under the carpet. “
Still, he has had to agree. The negotiations were long and difficult. In addition to the development of the common text, each stream has asked to be represented at the appropriate level in future instances. Indeed the Congress determines the composition of the National Council (parliament of the party), the National Office (the deliberative space) and departmental federations in proportion to the score of the motions. “We replied that he first had to win the conference and then measure the balance of power, says a member of the PS. The more we earn much more there will be positions to be assigned. “
With the support of nearly 80 first federal secretaries, the current first secretary now appears in a strong position, facing a motion of the left wing and slingers met behind Christian Paul, and another entitled “factory”, led by Karine Berger. In the entourage of François Hollande, it is certain that the majority will not switch at the end of the conference. “We do not feel a party ready to turn the table against his elect” says a relative of the head of state. Mr Cambadélis this great synthesis is the guarantee of escaping a referendum conference on government policy. “It will not be the revenge of the lost parliamentary debate, but the Congress of renewal, wants to believe. It is then good to pass by the end of the five-year inflection equality, not to overthrow the government or to waive recovery. Finally, the PS will remain the main initiator of a great popular alliance and not a minor player mélenchonisée left. “
The text of his motion – forty pages that Le Monde was able to consult – entitled” The socialist renewal. ” Mr. Cambadélis threw a first frame, which he then integrated until the last minute, amendments of all parties. “This is not just a compromise between several sensitivities, says he though. There is a story, exceeding of PS. “ text The structure is based on two observations: the loss of cultural hegemony of the left, which requires the rebuilding of a new social democracy; and of the lack of tangible results for the French economy despite tremors, which calls a voluntary support for the resumption of growth.
The artisan, in the 1990s, the plural left, found his chosen field, advocating a “citizen overflow” of “electoral cartels”
On economic issues, the text clearly presents not because the broad guidelines of the government as the Pact of responsibility and deficit reduction. It returns a possible inflection line to the evaluation of the impact of competitive employment tax credit (CICE), which was announced by the government: “The commitments do not seem at this stage and all professional branches, respected. If this is confirmed by the national assessment, we estimate that 15 billion agreement which are used now expected to be more directly to promote employment, productive private investment and public investment. “ He asks the other hand, as the PS made the last three years, real tax reform, ” to lay the foundations of a merger between the income tax and the CSG “: “For households, we hope that the site of the citizen tax be initiated as soon as the draft budget for 2016 by a withholding of income tax and the CSG discount on top income brackets. “
But to avoid that Congress focuses too much on economic issues that divide the PS, Mr Cambadélis would like to focus on what he calls in his text “the beautiful people’s alliance” “unites all progressive” . The artisan in the 1990s Plural Left finds there his chosen field, advocating a “citizen overrun” “electoral cartels” . He called, as he had done in the States General, a “unitary federation” from the left, and advocates for the PS “new social democracy”. So many great objectives that the signatories of the motion synthesis will have no trouble finding themselves, failing to agree on the means to achieve them.
