The PS Congress, whose first round of the militants will take place this Tuesday, May 27, raises many unknowns, with the result that many predict pressed between the first outgoing secretary Olivier Faure and the mayor of Rouen Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, and the uncertain commitment of the third man Boris Valalaud.
The battle will be played mainly among the two rivals of the previous Marseille Congress in 2023: the Mayer-Rossignol camp says that it will be at the head in the first round, which is used to define the balance of power in the party authorities. The fairy camp talks about a narrow fight, but sees its winning champion at the end.
Vallaud in a kings manufacturer?
The head of the socialist deputies Boris Vallaud, who his rivals project in third place, between 15 and 20%, hopes to frustrate the forecasts and leave in the first two, places necessary to qualify for the second round. Whatever your score will give weight in the party authorities, to impose a work on the substance that you consider at the absent moment.
It could arise as a creator of Rey, if you decide to join one of the other two candidates in the second round. But those around him emphasize that the one who wants to be the “reconciler” of a divided match of the Marseille Congress can choose … not choose.
What vote for new members?
The electoral body, with 39,815 people, – level “the weakest since 1945”, according to Senator Patrick Kanner, against almost 42,000 in 2023 (for a total of 23,000 voters), he lost more than 10,000 members of Marseille (with in particular the radiation of all those who have not paid any contribution since 2021).
It begins compensated for approximately 10,000 new members, whose vote remains at the moment an enigma. They arrived mainly after the nut agreement, after the new popular front and after the European campaign of Raphaël Glucksmann, said Senator Corinne Narrassiguin, who presides over the organizing commission of the Congress.
Strategic differences for 2027
The Anti-Fauro rejected the platform on the non-melencant left “by François Ruffin to Raphaël Glucksmann” offered by the first secretary and impulse for “a great socialist party” that brings together the social-democratic arc, going as far as Raphaël Glucksmann, Benoit Hamon or Bernard Cazeneuve, in which the candidate would be a candidate.
Even if Olivier Faure has distanced himself from France Insumise (LFI), after being one of the initiators of the two leftist alliances, the nuts in 2022 and the new popular front in 2024, the Mayer-Dossignol camp accused him of “vague” in his intentions for the next dead election lines.
Its defenders indicate the “shoot” that constitutes the team of Nicolas Mayer-Persignol, which goes from the mayor of Vaulx-en-Velin Hélène Geoffroy to the president of Occitanie Carole Delga, through the deputy of Eure Philippe Brun and the mayor of Saint-Ouye Karim Bouamrane, United only according to the antitio, for them.
Possible trap accusations
In a match that still votes at the polls (from 5 pm to 10 pm in the sections), “all will be eager to install a story”, before an ending result of the first round was announced, late at night from Tuesday to Wednesday or even the next morning, after the test committee, said Corinne Narrassigin.
He is concerned about “premature proclamations”, which could lead to “accusations of cheating.” He also remembers that if certain sections have a regulatory urn and a specific room, others have improvised the polls, sometimes shoe boxes, such as in the previous congress, and the vote can take place in an activist’s apartment.
But all currents can send supervisors and “in the vast majority of cases, no problem,” she says.
The expectations of the leftist partners
The result is analyzed by the rest of the left. The supporters of a presidential union, such as the head of environmentalists Marine Tondelier, expect the victory of Olivier Faure.
But Raphaël Glucksmann, who has just ruled out any participation in a primary, would prefer to see a good eye the victory of Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, as well as Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who could establish his speech with a socialist “betrayal” against a “real left” rebel.
