The head of the PS, Olivier Faure, said on Saturday, June 7 that “there will be a common candidate of the left and the environmentalists” for the presidential election of 2027, claiming that his designation by a primary was the “one of the possibilities”, in an interview with the gallery on Sunday.
While he had already advocated a joint candidacy that went from the leader in the public square Raphaël Glucksmann to the former deputy of LFI François Ruffin, Olivier Faure points out that the second “expressed the idea of a primary”: “It is one of the possibilities,” he said.
“We must reach a common designation process,” adds the deputy of Sena-Et-Marne, according to which “this must go in advance through a common programmatic platform.”
“Gather the left and the environmentalists”
About Raphaël Glucksmann, who said he does not want to participate in a primary, Olivier Faure believes that “no one can say.” I did not try to gather left and environmentalists. “
“The issue is not to take personal risks, it is to make the risks assume risks and millions of French and French directly threatened by the arrival of the extreme right in power,” he observes.
Olivier Faure was chosen at the head at the head of the Socialist Party on Friday by collecting 50.9% of the votes of the militants expressed.
When asked about the will of his opponent, Nicolas Mayer-Possignol (49.1%), to present a social-democratic candidacy in the presidential elections of 2027, the first renewed secretary believes that “this question was decided” and is “now behind: the congresses are used.”
“No one can take responsibility for ending with four or five left -wing candidates on the starting line,” he warns.
