“He chose the path of humiliation alone”: Faure’s “outstretched hand” to the Insoumis divides the PS

La France insoumise rejected the proposal for an agreement put forward by the first secretary of the Socialist Party in view of the legislative elections. The proposal annoyed more than one in the rose party. Several members of the Socialist Party do not hide their annoyance after the hand extended by Olivier Faure for negotiations with rebellious France in view of the June legislative elections. End of not receiving. The president of the LFI group in the Assembly Mathilde Panot explained in the Journal du Dimanche that “there will be no discussion, and this refusal is final”. A project nipped in the bud, and which surprised. Several socialists have indeed discovered the intentions of their leader directly in the press, some even falling from the clouds. “A slap in the face and we return to the doghouse” socialists will toast”, confides a relative of Anne Hidalgo to BFMTV. According to this same executive, exchanges between members of the party have been very numerous since the publication of the interview with their boss. […] he is wisely waiting for LFI’s response”, continues this same source, “well, the answer is a slap in the face and we go back to the doghouse”. “Nobody wants us” “How could they imagine a only second that they would obtain an agreement with LFI?” chokes this same source, speaking of Olivier Faure and his relatives. “The naivety of Faure, my arms fall. They live in the world of Care Bears””The PS thinks he’s so dominant that everyone wants him. (…) nobody wants us”, adds this same executive, evoking another error on the part of Olivier Faure: “he is not at all addressing the PCF and the ecologists”, two parties with which alliances must be forged.” The legislative elections will be a berezina for the PS. It’s been a week since he’s done anything except cry with LFI”, continues this same source. “You have to get your fingers out of your ass, as the other would say. We have to move, propose 5-6 measures”, he finally concludes. On the side of Olivier Faure’s entourage, we defend the line published in Liberation and we assure that we want a discussion with LFI, the “discussion channels” being open, a position that diverges from that of the unsuccessful candidate and the president of Occitanie Carole Delga, the latter rejecting any alliance with the rebellious.Marie Gentric with Hugues Garnier
