Le PS a adopted ce mardi soir, à l’unanimité de son bureau national, son texte d’orientación stratégique pour les élections européennes, qui prévoit le principe d’une liste autonomous et sera soumis le 5 october au vote des militants, a annoncé the match.
The national office also voted unanimously on the programmatic content of the European project, also submitted to the activists’ vote on the same date, and which may be subject to modifications by the federations, until a closing national convention is held. on October 14.
Although the PS remains internally divided on the Nupes agreement concluded with the LFI, EELV and the PCF in March 2022, the three currents of the party (that of the national secretary Olivier Faure, majority and pro-Nupes, and those of his opponents Nicolas Mayer -Rossignol and Hélène Geoffroy, hostile to Nupes) managed to agree on the strategy, with the drafting of a compromise.
“Points of disagreement” with the other left forces
While the LFI asks the Europeans for a common list of Nupes, the non-changeable strategic text acts on the principle of an autonomous and precise list that the PS “has always considered” that its project would dictate its alliances, “and not the ‘ counter”.
“Our desire for dialogue persists. But we note that the decision of the ecologists and the communists to come out with their own colors in the European elections has not made it possible to study the necessary conditions for a common list and, in particular, to return to discuss the Points of disagreement” observed on “European and international issues during the constitution of the Nupes in 2022”, it is written.
More le Parti socialiste remains “pleinement engagé dans la stratégie de rassemblement de la gauche et de l’écologie”, which “a trouvé are expression politique lors des élections législatives de 2022 avec la Nupes et son intergroupe à l’Assemblée nationale”, poursuit the text.
He adds that “the union of the left and the environmentalists is the necessary strategy to lead the fight against the policies of the President of the Republic and to hinder the rise of the RN to power.”
Without mentioning the term single candidacy of the left for the 2027 presidential elections, which Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol and Hélène Geoffroy rejected, arguing that it was ahead of the next PS congress, the text explains that it will be necessary to “create the conditions for a common program and mobilize candidacies for the municipal, presidential and legislative elections, returning the Socialist Party to the center of the left”.
Olivier Faure absolutely wanted to integrate this objective into the text, so as “not to despair of left-wing voters who want union.” The head of the list and the composition of the list should not be decided before the end of the year.
