First stage of the PS congress, socialist activists vote Thursday throughout France to determine the political direction of the party for the coming months, in line of sight with the presidential 2017.
Four Motions (or political orientations) are competing for the congress to be held in Poitiers from 5 to 7 June, after which Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, head of Motion “A” intends to remain First Secretary
Designate the first party secretary
The activists -. 131 000 “active” so far – have an appointment Thursday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. in 3200 some sections of the party to vote. The final results will be announced on Friday afternoon, but early trends will be known late in the night.
On May 28, they will vote on the first signatory of the two motions led the way, becoming the winner the first secretary of the party.
“We are in a position to win (…) but if abstention is strong, we can have a number of disappointments” warned Mr. Cambadélis, who believes that “70,000 à 80,000 voters would be a ” good participation “ . A low rate of voting disadvantage especially his camp
For the first secretary at stake is twofold. He wants to get the dubbing militants, who was elected as the only parliament party in mid-April 2014, after the ouster of his predecessor, Harlem Désir.
The online presidential pattern
In addition, a big score of his motion, signed by the Prime Minister and certainly closely monitored by François Hollande, would enable him to claim a PS Legitimist, within two years of the presidential election.
If there is a month in the halls of the PS, we counting on 57-58% for the “Camba” motion, it tempered recently, judging that “50.1%” , this would be “satisfactory” even if “absolute majority is better” .
In front, the other three motions aspire to meet more than 50% in these three. Slingers and the left wing, led by MP Christian Paul at the head of the Motion “B” , claim to be the only defenders of Hollande’s program 2012. ” I think we can win, I think the majority of change in the leadership of the PS is possible “, Benoît Hamon said Tuesday.
” Not a show as the UMP “
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the Left Party leader has supported them, seeing in their orientation ” a motion of censure against the socialist government Valls’.
“Not aligned” , the Karine Berger MP, which supports the government but demands a complete reorganization of the party can recover the votes of disappointed first two camps around his motion “D” . If it were to happen in the third position, she says she would not call a person to vote on May 28
Last text, one of the militant “field” Florence Augier ( “Motion C” ) for its part, aims to alert the party on its lack of diversity and the lack of love between activists and direction.
On the merits The four motions are similar to the republican values, the gathering of the left, the concepts of “substantive equality” or “eco-socialism” , but differ on certain Saving points European guidelines, support the government or the issue or not to designate the candidate for 2017 by a primary.
In a rather lackluster campaign and in a context of disaffection activists – they went from 170,000 in 2013 to 131,000 today (not counting a list of 28,000 threatened delisting), the Prime Minister was himself involved in a public meeting
.
As for Martine Aubry, agreed with Mr. Cambadélis in April, she explained to want “fight inside for us to succeed ” . “I do not want the right to return to power” , is justified is Monday at the North Federation.
At the appointment of Poitiers, the vote and its consequences on the party’s bodies will be endorsed. If elected, Mr. Cambadélis, ready to make “synthesis” , ensures that this will be a time “useful for the left and the French” . It will “not just a show like the UMP” which holds its Congress on May 30, he said.
