Martine Aubry in the age of “retirement” – Le Point

“You call to find out what is going to Aubry?” loose amused ministerial adviser. “The suspense is immense” blows another ironic. “I think that’s it” finally settled a minister on Friday afternoon. All already knew that Martine Aubry announced Friday night with thirty minutes behind schedule. Will sign the text of Jean-Christophe Cambadélis for the Congress of the PS to be held at least from June to Poitiers. However, the first secretary supports (and is supported by) – with very few nuances – Francois Hollande and Manuel Valls. Now the mayor of Lille did not hide hitherto his disagreements with the government.

Between Francois Hollande and the enmity is old. His spikes against his rival in the primary in 2011, she accused of representing the “soft left” and to be “fuzzy”, always stick to the skin of the president. This fall, she was placed at the forefront of the battle against the law for the growth and activity of the Minister of Economy Emmanuel Macron. “The left has she now proposing organization of life as the Sunday walk to the mall and the accumulation of consumer goods?” castigated even Le Monde in December one that wanted the guardian of the left temple. More recently, after the second round of departmental, Martine Aubry felt that the bad result was “a protest vote against the national policy.”

“When Francis realized that it was considered a concession to Martine, he left saying “

Finally, everything is settled. Officially, if the majority agrees Martine Aubry, is because she “wanted the left wins,” she has said. To prepare the ground, relatives of the mayor of Lille also stressed before his speech that “rapprochement with the Greens (was) under way.” Except that nothing is officially recorded. If François Hollande clearly work to the widest possible rally left for 2017, the reshuffle expected by many environmentalists has not occurred and is not scheduled for now.

Martine Aubry has stressed the reasons for “bottom” who convinced her to join a government embodied by the figures of Manuel Valls and Emmanuel Macron, qualified by the orthodox left social -libéraux, emphasizing above commitments to investment. Nobody really believes in PS this explanation, described as “dressing” by a minister. “The issue of investment is on the long table. When François Hollande realized that it could pass for a concession to Martine Aubry, he was told,” we are assured at the Elysee.

“The reality is that Martine Aubry can not afford to rely in a conference. It is a minority in the north,” says one member of the government while the PS lost this department March 29. “She can not afford to get into a difficult while regional conference in December are not played,” he added, before saying the all seriousness: “We are witnessing from the Pension Martine Aubry. ”
