The following week, they will elect the first secretary of the Party. They can choose between the first signatories of the two motions led the way.

No one in PS do doubt of the vote Thursday night arrival order. Motion A, which Jean-Christophe Cambadélis is the first signatory, should prevail before the motion B of the left wing and slingers. But the score achieved by the current boss of the PS will be watched closely. If he does not cross the 50% mark, it means that a majority of socialist militants did not wish to carry on the text supported by the Prime Minister, his entire government and most senior executives party. François Hollande, long a skilled practitioner of these games unit, also keep an eye on this conference in Poitiers. Stéphane Le Foll, the minister of agriculture that drives its sensitivity within the Party, was commissioned to monitor operations and defend the interests of the head of state.

slingers, they have revised their ambitions downwards. At the height of their protest against the government during consideration of the budget texts in autumn 2014, they dreamed to be the majority before the militants. They hope now exceed 30%. The cause, according to them, a campaign “in camera” in the middle of May truncated by holidays and the double standards of the majority motion on economic issues. The rallying Martine Aubry to the motion A also weakened them.
Karine Berger, head of the motion D, dream of hanging 15% and get a place in the bodies. As for Motion C, which had made 12% in the last Congress in the wake of Stéphane Hessel, who has since died, she will attempt to defend its positions threatened

- control over investitures
It ‘ Another major issue of this congress whose militants speak less willingly. The departmental authorities are made in proportion to the scores achieved by the motions. They then decide investiture, especially for regional elections in December. It is not uncommon for activists least decide on the programmatic content of the motions that depending on internal political criteria to elect their candidates. This local data complicates forecasts for voting and can upset some balance. As such, the vote of 11 June, in which the first federal secretaries will be appointed (officials in each department) is extremely important for members. It also allows to map the power relations in the party.
- The allocation of posts
At the Nationally, the larger institutions are also representative of the scores of motions. The National Council, the parliament of the Party, and includes the first federal secretaries 102 and 204 members elected from among the signatories of each motion. Ditto for the national office who heads the party. So the negotiations are going well in all camps, which are generally an addition of small stables. Jean-Christophe Cambadélis will thus satisfy the Dutch, the vallsistes the aubrystes the moscovicistes the peillonistes, supporters of the right wing, not to mention his family …
In the motion B, friends Benoît Hamon and those of Emmanuel Maurel claim their share, while slingers try to grab a few places. C and D motions will, in turn, decide whether they participate in the national secretariat, the government party, will dial the first secretary who is elected on May 28

It can not be a socialist congress without charges, justified or not, of cheating. Especially when the result will be a close. A commission to discuss the poll arrangements was established with members of each motion around Christophe Borgel, the Election Officer. Slingers have already announced that they would be very attentive to the collection of results and participation. “Over 80,000 voters, it gets fishy” , has already warned MEP Guillaume Balas.
The suspicions mainly concern the vote on the motions on 21 May Unlike other elections during which the result is communicated to 1am, it was not until noon the next day for the final scores. “ This gives them time to make the necessary readjustments in lifts federations if the score of the motion A is just too” , says one of the members of the motion B participates in the commission . Are particularly targeted the federations of Overseas, North, Seine-Maritime, Eure or of Herault.
The party leadership is sweeping accusations and assures that the vote No. has never been monitored this year. According to a pillar of motion A, this is a figure of classical style in convention: “They make up rumors because they feel they are losing. “
