This Wednesday, the court of Créteil challenged the process of joining the Socialist Party to the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes). According to the judgment delivered at the end of the day on Tuesday, the Nupes agreement, concluded on May 6 with La France insoumise, Europe Ecologie, the Greens and the Communist Party, was duly adopted by the National Council of the party – a sort of Internal Parliament -… but “should have been the subject of a national convention”, explained the number 2 of the PS Corinne Narassiguin.
The judge thus enjoined the Socialist Party to organize this national convention within 30 days, “that is inevitably after the legislative elections, because it is impossible to organize such a convention more quickly”, taking into account the time necessary for vote beforehand in the sections, then the federations, to designate the delegates of the national convention, underlines Corinne Narassiguin. “This decision does not call into question the agreement, nor the nominations of the PS, nor the support of the PS for the candidates of the other parties of the Nupes, she specifies. Nothing we have done has been invalidated”.

Moreover, while the plaintiffs, four activists who are not candidates for the legislative elections and who have no responsibilities in the PS bodies, demanded a vote to validate the agreement, “nothing in the judgment obliges us to organize a national convention with a vote,” said the former MP.

“In the past, we made other agreements that never went through a national convention,” she notes. For Corinne Narassiguin, these are actually “political maneuvers”, intended to “fuel the division of the left”, to favor Emmanuel Macron and those who are preparing the next PS congress “with the aim of overthrowing the current leadership”. .
