Since the agreement with France Insoumise for the legislative elections, the former leaders of the PS strongly criticize Olivier Faure for this choice.
This Sunday, it is in particular Philippe Doucet, former executive of the party who attacked violently, on Europe 1, the first secretary of the Socialist Party.
The rallying of the PS to the popular union continues to create turmoil between the socialist leaders.
While Olivier Faure criticized this Sunday noon the "elephants" of the PS on their refusal to ratify the agreement with France Insoumise, explaining to be "disgusted by these rearguard fights" and to be more concerned with "knowing if tomorrow they will be able to feed their children, clothe them, give them a future, the rest is a joke,” he told

Doucet refuses the agreement with LFI
A formal attack which provoked a strong reaction from Philippe Doucet, former PS deputy, who criticizes Olivier Faure for his inaction since his arrival at the head of the party on April 7, 2018: "You haven't worked since 2018. Why do you didn't you work more? Why exactly, we are still talking about elephants since you were supposed to bring about the rebirth of the socialist party. The rebirth, you bring it to 1.7% (Anne Hidalgo's score in the last presidential election ), so you have not revived the party", he said at the microphone of Europe 1.

For Philippe Doucet, if the PS had to make an agreement with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, it was above all because of "the weakness of Olivier Faure", who, according to him, did not have "the courage to resign", after the Anne Hidalgo debacle.
"The PS is probably dead"
The former mayor of Argenteuil has no illusions about the future of his party, since he compares it to "a field of ruins" and even evokes "a probable death" of the party.
