The mayor PS of Mans, Stéphane Le Foll, demanded this Thursday the organization of a primary within the Socialist Party to choose a candidate for the presidential election of 2022, refusing to line up behind Anne Hidalgo and criticizing the lack of debate in the party.
We cannot prepare for a presidential election without there still being a minimum of debate […] It would take at least a debate – within the PS – very open, so a primary, to be able to discuss a little bit
, said the former minister on Public Senate. You need a method to choose (a candidate, Editor’s note), and it must be a vote
.
Doing the observation that there will be no common candidate on the left
, he considered that the primary organized by environmentalists had the merit of generating a debate of ideas.
Or or PS today what is on the table? Where are the debates? What do we offer? How do we see the world of tomorrow? What are the first major measures
that a socialist president would take? he asked.
“Legitimate to participate”
He acknowledged that of course
in case of primary he would feel legitimate to participate
saying to prepare a book for present (his) ideas
. In his eyes, the mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo is not, of course
, a natural presidential candidate.
I’m quite surprised that it starts off like in the good old days of the Socialist Party congresses with
I align signatures
[…] To say “Just sign” is a mistake “,
he reaffirmed with reference to the platform signed by 200 elected officials at the end of June to urge her to stand.
Stephane Le Foll attend
therefore proposals
Anne Hidalgo that she promised to unveil on July 12 during a rally of left-wing elected officials in Villeurbanne.
He also addressed the agenda of the PS congress on September 18 and 19 in Villeurbanne, which focuses only on of texts presented in November 2020
, without take into account regional elections
which have taken place since, and the reappointment of Olivier Faure at the head of the party, for which he assured that he would not vote in view of what has happened for three years
.
This party today no longer has democratic vitality, and it is the responsibility of Olivier Faure
, he accused.
