Why take any chances when it comes in cleared field? This is what has certainly said Manuel Valls when mounted Saturday, June 6 in the late morning at the podium of the 77 th of the Socialist Party Congress held in Poitiers. Before him, Christian Paul, the new leader of the “slingers” the PS, had certainly expressed some criticisms against socialism in power that “picks” “the people of the left” . But the MP for Nièvre never referred namely the Prime Minister, carrying only hints. Nothing too bad in the end. With such internal opposition, Manuel Valls can advance peacefully.
So for a little over an hour, the head of government dutifully ticked all the boxes of the type speech before a gathering of activists and ‘socialist representatives. With professionalism, but without passion either. Friday’s heat wave has already left Poitiers, the temperature dropped in the streets like in the tent of the conference, so no need to add more.
Make balance pedagogy
Small one, a quick course of applied geopolitics. The speech is the same as in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Let us hope it will continue in 2016 and 2017, at least. Manuel Valls says “multipolar and unstable world” , remember “open economy” or “the borderless markets” against which any government must obviously left “adapt” the “Software” . What? In “reforming” . Why? “For a stronger because France fairer” .
Small two, it is precisely he believes what his government. And to quote throughout his speech all the heavyweights of his team to tout their action. Laurent Fabius, Jean-Yves Le Drian, Segolene Royal, Bernard Cazeneuve, Stéphane Le Foll, François Rebsamen, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, Christiane Taubira … Manuel Valls does not forget anyone. Except Michel Sapin and, of course, Emmanuel Macron. But that’s normal, we are in a congress “socialist” .
Small three, doing the teaching experience of the first three years of the five-year period. Retirement at 60 for employees who started early to work, reform of family allowances, that of generalized paying agent coming to the college, marriage for all … “This is what we do! “, says Mr. Valls inviting socialists to be ” proud “ for ” If nobody says it, who else we will? “.
Petit four, recognizing however that not everything is perfect, but be optimistic. Yes, “the initial results are there, even if the French do not yet see the” . Yes, “our country again creates wealth” but faces “a painful paradox:
growth that keeps the number of unemployed down” . But, I promise, this “commitment” will “required” . Especially by alleviating labor costs and reforming the labor market. “We will continue to reform, there will be no pause” , warned the prime minister.
Small five target those who do not play the game. Forgotten Manuel Valls August 2014 which went before the Medef say that “loves the business,” . Instead, this time it targets “some Medef” that are in “permanent complaint” and “the anxiety speech” . “From the business, we expect something else” , he adds. This will be the only small concession to the left wing of the PS. Applause in the room.
PS united behind Hollande
Small six project already to the 2017 Presidential Recall first that the Front National “enemy” and the line “the adversary” . Nicolas Sarkozy pounding on that “through its practices in the opposition, is already a problem for the country” . The Republic of the head of the new “Republicans” “a deception” . That of Manuel Valls and PS is the opposite of the Republic “Valmy” “hairy” 14 “National Council of Resistance “ and ” Charlie “ of 11 January. This is the Republic of “authority” “public order” and “secularism” . One that “expels” father of Mohamed Merah as the “It has no place in our country” . More applause
Against Nicolas Sarkozy and Marine Le Pen, one solution for the Prime Minister. Francois Hollande. “Francis is now hearing you, your applause is important because he is a great president and France must know” , claims Manuel Valls. Standing ovation. Subliminal image remains that of the day and probably the congress: the PS and standing united behind Hollande for the next presidential election. The exact opposite of the Republican convention last weekend, show the division between right Nicolas Sarkozy, Alain Juppe Francois Fillon and Bruno Le Maire. If Congress Poitiers was to have a single value, it was that one.
will be a candidate François Hollande as Manuel Valls will not be. The Prime Minister has taken the trouble to specify in conclusion. A response to the many surveys that say better placed than the Head of State for 2017. “There is no personal adventure, there are only collective achievements. You can be sure that my loyalty is flawless with regard to the President of the Republic “, he says. Manuel Valls knows its V th Republic, he knows that a prime minister can not compete with an incumbent president of his own camp, and he will not commit this error.
Small seven not need to play a fatal war chiefs as on the bottom, Manuel Valls is convinced he has already won the battle of ideas. The minority of the 2011 primary feels majority in the socialist heads. What matter the device balances or tactical positioning, the vallsisme saw himself triumphant lack of credible and organized competition. Besides, the “People’s Alliance” advocated by the first secretary of the PS Jean-Christophe Cambadélis is for the Prime Minister the same as his “common house” Open “all progressive” . No need therefore to propose as in 2009 to change the name of the Socialist Party, nor to believe in 2014 that as “the left can die” . “No, the Socialist Party is not dead” , reassures Manuel Valls. “I like the Socialists, I know what I owe you” , he said. Burning with desire probably add: “And you know what you owe me. “

Manuel Valls inflexible on work Sunday
The Prime Minister took the podium to Poitiers to reaffirm that the Government did not intend to change its position on the extension of Sunday work as envisaged by the Macron law, passed in first reading in the National Assembly with the 49-3. “I think things have already been well discussed in the first reading in the National Assembly, well advanced, no reason to go back on it” , has he said. Questioned by the press on the sidelines of the conference, he did not rule out appeal again to this accelerated procedure to adopt this text at second reading “We’ll see what is the way to quickly move the text [...] but expect the debate within the Commission “, which must be open Monday, June 7
