While François Hollande and Ségolène Royal come back in force in recent months, Mehdi Ouraoui, spokesman of the movement of Benoît Hamon, described the two socialists as "glyphosate of the left".
Mehdi Ouraoui, spokesman for Génération.s, criticizes severely François Hollande and Ségolène Royal, "toxic duo" on the return, which he says prevents the left from "reborn," in an interview with the Journal du Dimanche .

"It has been fifteen years since Holland and Royal spent their time devouring the children of the left and all generations who could threaten their thirst for power," said the spokesman of the movement of Benoît Hamon, about a possible return François Hollande and a possible candidacy of Ségolène Royal to the Europeans.
According to him, "When we take stock of the last few years, it's terrible. This duo is toxic: it is the glyphosate of the left. Where they go, nothing pushes back .
"They have produced no idea to regenerate the left," "have not fostered the emergence of any great generation of socialist leaders" and still "have led the country to cross the line in the pipolisation of political life "He reproaches them in particular.
Mr Ouraoui, himself an ex-socialist, admits that "there is a collective responsibility on the left: to let them cling to power, not to have arrested them, especially after 2002" .
"Benoît Hamon (former PS candidate) is the one who brought the most daring ideas to regenerate the left during the presidential campaign. But they have never ceased to organize the betrayal of the candidate, in favor of Macron which they or their relatives have then begged favors, "he denounces again.
And to conclude: "We need a positive and inventive left, the real new world that citizens expect. Not the eternal return of this toxic duo that will serve only the re-election of Macron or, worse, the accession to power of Marine Le Pen .
