Former Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, opposed to the agreement between PS and LFI within Nupes, believes that “another left is possible, one that breaks with excess and sectarianism”, in a manifesto published in the JDD.
This “manifesto” is signed by 400 personalities from the left, including almost all the opponents of the pro-Nupes line of the PS boss Olivier Faure: there is the mayor of Le Mans Stéphane Le Foll, the former first secretary of the PS Jean-Christophe Cambadélis or the current minority leader Hélène Geoffroy, mayor of Vaulx-en-Velin. But not the president of the Occitanie region Carole Delga or former presidential candidate Anne Hidalgo.
Criticism of “pompous postures of insubordination”
Observing a “devastated political panorama”, Bernard Cazeneuve, who left the PS after the Nupes agreement, believes that “neither the anemic relative majority (of the Macronists), nor the opposition mainly animated by radicalism seem capable of responding to expectations of our compatriots”.
“Il est fort probable that the communication débridée d’una majorité dévitalisée, sans boussole ni projet, et que los theatrales postures des oppositions radicalisées ne suffiront pas à répondre à l’épuisement democratique que prive la République de sa force vitale”, poursuit- The.
“It would be a mistake to be content with grandiloquent postures of insubordination, accepting the marriage of incoherence and violence, in a nihilism where anger would prevent the advent of hope,” he adds in this manifesto.
Cazeneuve wants a “refoundation” for “another left”
For the signatories, “the left in which we believe is impregnated with the spirit of nuances.” In this context, “it is up to us, Republicans of the left and wherever we come from, to organize ourselves to unite our forces and unite our efforts to give the French people the hope to which they are entitled”. , Bernard Cazeneuve writes again.
The former head of government launches “a call for the refoundation and therefore the constitution of a collective dynamic”, and specifies “the mandate of the militants of hope: to demonstrate day after day that another left is possible, that breaks with the excess and sectarianism. “.
Among the signatories are also several former socialist ministers (Christian Eckert, Frédéric Cuvillier, Jean Glavany, Michel Sapin or Catherine Trautmann), mayors of the PS (such as Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol in Rouen), the president of the Brittany region Loïg Chesnais- Girard, “dissident deputies from Nupes, department presidents, senators, but also members of the PRG, including its president Guillaume Lacroix.
