Socialist members will vote on 21 and 28 May next on the four motions in the running and then designate the future head of the party. Achieved scores will assess the state of the PS in power relationships.
This is a first step taken in the preparation of the Congress of the PS which will be held from 5 to 7 June in Poitiers. And the least we can say is that the executive and current head of the Socialist Party, Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, did not fare so badly at this stage. At the cost of many compromises – a way to fully assumed by the boss of the PS – Francois Hollande and Jean-Christophe Cambadélis managed to dissuade Martine Aubry to go it alone. The mayor of Lille, which has maintained the suspense until Friday night, has signed the majority contribution even if it rejects the idea of any rally. “Francois and Martine agreed it over a week already there,” confided Friday near the head of state.
The motion Cambadélis, marriage of carp and rabbit
A total of four motions are running. They were filed Saturday in the PS national council and broadcast Sunday on the Socialist Party website First motion. “The Socialist Renewal” carried by Jean-Christophe Cambadélis. A word “thesis” and not of “synthesis”, was keen to stress Cambadélis on Saturday. Among its many signatories are the different strengths of socialist convictions, if not outright opposed. There where the President of the Assembly, Claude Bartolone, former Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, the members of the right wing of the PS – “reformers” supporters of the flexible labor market – ., Martine Aubry, Manuel Valls and the ministers and secretaries of state socialist
The motion “Camba” defends both the idea of ”socialist renewal by government success” – cher Manuel Valls – and “the passing of the Socialist Party” with the breadcrumb “equality”. This motion is, without a doubt, the marriage of carp and rabbit. Moreover, in order to avoid offending each other and to avoid giving too sharp color to the text in favor of a socialist chapel at the expense of another, the list of the main signatories of the text is even presented in order . alphabetical
“We must go beyond the war of positions PS”
Given Cambadélis a second motion: “Left to win” . It has the support of the two currents of the left wing of the PS respectively controlled by the former Minister Benoît Hamon and MEP Emmanuel Maurel plus slingers “Long live the Left.” It is the deputy PS Nièvre, Christian Paul, rebellious and close to Martine Aubry, who was appointed as the first signatory of the motion.
Third Motion, “The Socialist Factory” one door Karine Berger, Member of the French Alps and National Secretary of the Economy. Among his supporters, members of the Socialist sensitivity Consistency (Valérie Rabault, Yann Galut, Alexis Bachelay), relatives of Ségolène Royal with the former Minister Dominique Bertinotti. Berger refused the block against block: the majority motion from side opposite to that of the other slingers. “We must, she said, beyond the war of positions PS”. “Karine Berger never really opposed to Jean-Christophe Cambadélis. She signed a motion to bring him a supply of additional votes for the election of the first secretary, “quips a slinger.
Finally, the national secretary for community life, Florence Augier, is the first signatory the fourth motion, “Daring a new citizen and republican pact” presented as the result of work with the socialist militants. On the agenda: more subsidized jobs (150,000 new jobs helped 2017), upgrading of minimum social measures in favor of the purchasing power of the middle classes
Four motions s’. So face the end of May, one less than in the Toulouse conference organized after the victory of Holland, in fall 2012. Charge for members of the PS – to date of contribution – to choose. There is not much suspense. The text worn by Jean-Christophe Cambadélis is almost certain to arrive well ahead at the vote held May 21 in sections of the party. The score it collects will however decisive since it will gauge the internal balance of power. “It could be 56% or 57%,” said a Socialist leader, who signed the motion. “The last time (at the Congress of Toulouse, Ed), Benoît Hamon and his friends had signed the majority motion. This is not the case this time. And we are not at the same time the five-year, “added the PS leader. This score also depend on the electorate of the PS could have changed significantly since the Congress of Toulouse and mobilizing it. The PS has just been sent a letter to the 28,000 members of the party not to date of contribution.
No big suspense rather than on voting from May 28 to designate the future First Secretary PS. Jean-Christophe Cambadélis will probably be re-elected as party leader. While he had been knighted and unelected when Harlem Désir succeeded to the post of first secretary in April 2014, will vote for him this time value of legitimation. But if he wants to be fully legitimate, “Cambadélis will do better than the score of his motion,” says an elected PS.
