Europeans: the PS will work "with all its might" at the rally on the left

The PS must "contribute from all (his) forces to the unity of the left and the ecologists" in view of the Europeans of May 2019, affirmed the first secretary of the PS Olivier Faure in conclusion of a National Council of the party in Paris .

Olivier Faure will go to the invitation of Place Publique. While "the left is fragmented as ever", it is "our responsibility to contribute with all our strength (...) to the unity of the left and ecologists," he said. It is "for this reason" that the deputy "understood the approach of Ségolène Royal who does not wish to be the candidate of the only socialist party but a larger gathering". And it is also for this reason that he will "go to the invitation of Place public, December 20," he said.

The party created by Raphael Glucksmann and other intellectuals has invited left-wing political forces (outside France insubordinate) to a working meeting Thursday to discuss the "concrete solutions" to bring to the anger of the "yellow vests" and initiate discussions at six months of Europeans.

CN unanimously passed a resolution affirming that the "responsibility (of the PS) is to favor the rallying" of the leftist forces. It promises that "the PS, strong of its European project, will participate in any initiative able to bring together the forces of the reformist left, ecologist and pro-European". For Olivier Faure, who defended a few months ago an autonomous list of the PS, this left together can "be the surprise of this election", while the Republic in motion is "stopped".

A call to Benoît Hamon. He seemed to call in particular the former PS presidential candidate Benoît Hamon (Generations) Union, evoking "artificial divisions for the most, since (...) we were in the same party a few months ago or years again ".

The left is moving in a very scattered order towards the Europeans, with half a dozen lists sharing the space between LREM and LFI (PS, Generations, EELV, PCF but also Generations Ecology, the Radicals on the left, the REV. ..). The PS and Generations are each credited with 5% of the votes in a BVA poll released Friday.
