Hello, Jospin is back.

The former Socialist Prime Minister, who has not been a member of the Constitutional Council since 2019, is no longer subject to the duty of secrecy ... and he takes advantage of it.

He was invited this Thursday morning by France Inter, after giving a long interview to L'Obs.

Emmanuel Macron, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, presidential 2022… Lionel Jospin, in promotion for the next release of his book “Un temps troublé” (Threshold), is loose on many subjects.

Macron and his "anachronistic software"

The former Prime Minister first tackles the record of Emmanuel Macron.

“The president's software is anachronistic to me.

Until now, he has led an unbalanced economic and social policy, ”he underlines in the Obs.

“The disillusionment, and the uncertainty that has spread, are linked to the choices he made,” he insists on France Inter.

He also denounces "his political method, that of verticality" which is according to him "also that of another age".

He "accentuated the presidential slope of our political regime", adds the one who is sometimes accused of having reversed the electoral calendar (the presidential poll has taken place before the legislative elections since 2002).

The left in 2022

The socialist, who was eliminated in the first round in 2002, talks about the next presidential election and believes in the chances of the left.

“During the first three years of Emmanuel Macron's five-year term, the strength of the National Rally has not diminished.

This face to face can cause a feeling of rejection among the French who like to have a freedom of choice, ”he analyzes on France Inter.

According to him, a united left can be present in the second round.

"The DNAs are relatively compatible, the main question will be to grant the egos", he adds on the subject in particular of the PS and the environmentalists and also citing the role of the rebellious.

"Those responsible will have to seek what is the best solution to unite this nebula which has the capacity to respond to the challenges of the country", continues Lionel Jospin, without giving a name on the person likely to embody this union.

Mélenchon, the "conflict between intelligence and temperament"

Lionel Jospin claims to have "sympathy" for the rebellious deputy who was in his government.

In his book, he explains that with Jean-Luc Mélenchon “there may be a conflict between his intelligence and his temperament.

"" I do not share all of his ideas, I recognize his talent, "he added on France Inter, still ensuring that" the rebels are watched with sympathy and without fear "and calling on them to assume" the wisdom of responsibility at power ".

Compliments that went straight to Mélenchon's heart.

“A fine political thinker, Lionel Jospin calls on everyone to take responsibility.

I read his book.

I accept his questions.

I am watching him.

I see the great story that the French have missed, ”he replied on Twitter.
