This is nothing new, Bernard Cazeneuve is not a big fan of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and rebellious France.

The former Prime Minister had also left the PS when the Nupes agreement was signed in May, before launching a "manifesto" to "refound" a republican left.

Rather discreet since then, he returns to the charge while the congresses of the left parties could change the situation.

In addition, "if Olivier Faure loses the PS congress" in January, "I will return to it with happiness since I left it with sadness", announced Bernard Cazeneuve this Sunday on Radio J.

“As long as the left is not on the path to credibility, it cannot embody an alternation, and from the moment it encourages all disinhibitions through its positions, we see who benefits from it,” said he said in reference to the National Rally and its 89 deputies.

“If I am on this critical strategy, it is not because I am unfavorable to the union of the left, I am very favorable to the positions taken by Fabien Roussel, Yannick Jadot and others”, a-t he clarified, citing officials skeptical about the Nupes.

An “ideology of confrontation”

The former right arm of François Hollande was then not asked to designate his targets.

There are in his eyes "demagogues who are above all concerned about themselves: Jean-Luc Mélenchon, certain apparatchiks of the Socialist Party who have preferred to preserve their own future rather than enroll in the great tradition" socialist, launched the former boss of Place Beauvau.



Bernard Cazeneuve mocked at LFI "the ideology of confrontation" endangering "national unity", "complicity with dictators" or even the attack on "the republican ideal of universalism and secularism".

“I am not in favor of a strategy that manufactures far-right votes in industrial quantities,” he lashed out.

“I am not impressed by those who, during a presidential election, obtain a score and speak loudly,” he insisted.
