The socialist militants did not overthrow the table. A motion carried by the current first secretary of the PS and supported by the government, won the first round of the congress of Poitiers Thursday, May 21 with more than 60% of the vote, according to early estimates. It precedes the motion of B Christian Paul (approaching 30%), which includes slingers and the left wing of the party, the motion D Karine Berger (around 10%) and the motion of Florence Augier C (about 2 %).

The victory of the current majority took shape fairly quickly in a rather quiet election night, rue de Solferino, although some suspicion qu’émaillée malfunctions in some sections. The motion B leaders conceded defeat before Jean-Christophe Cambadélis confirms his victory via his spokeswoman, Corinne Narassiguin

Adoubement

The owner of the PS, who had set a target to cross the 50% mark, stronger out of this first vote. It will challenge in a Christian Paul week for the post of first secretary but with such a gap on motions, voting will now appear without real issue. For Jean-Christophe Cambadélis there is a knighthood, who had been appointed first secretary in 2014, without a vote of the militants. The large gathering he operated on his motion, Manuel Valls to Martine Aubry, has paid to the militants, who did not wish to make the government and the president in the minority.

Motion B, the score is worse than expected. They also fail to prevent the first secretary to exceed the 50% and thus create the conditions for a majority of overturning.

Christian Paul, questioned in the court of Solferino Thursday recognized the victory of his opponent. But for him, the motion B won on the field of ideas, proposals being included in all motions. “On important issues, there will be ideas that emerge majorities” , he explained. It has put particular pressure for tax reform and reorientation of competitiveness employment tax credit (CICE), two actions that appear in the text of the motion A, are housing starts. In view of the vote on May 28, the first secretary, he plans to focus his campaign on a “ethics policy” , which is based on three pillars: “clarity of ideas, meeting commitments and debate before the militants. “ One way to point out the ambiguity of Mr Cambadélis text.

” Net win “

D Motion carried by Karine Berger, has also achieved a score slightly below expectations. With less than 10%, it fails the expected coup. “We recognize the clear victory of Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, but that does not mean that 40% of the party is expressed differently” , has she explained. It is still installed in the instances of PS as the third party force. It has already announced that it would open a discussion on the program with two candidates for the post of first secretary. When the motion C, it achieves between 2 and 3% of the votes. His first signatory, Florence Augier call to vote for Jean-Christophe Cambadélis.

The latter has not expressed Thursday in Solferino. But the head of his new majority has now elbow, although it will be expected in the coming months on its vision of the “socialist renewal” , as his motion. The stakes are high: less than 75,000 voters out of 133,000 registered turned out to the polls in the first round
