The first secretary of the Socialist Party severely judges the choices of the President of the Republic and his new Prime Minister, Jean Castex, this Monday, in the composition of the new government. A team incapable, according to Olivier Faure, of meeting the immense challenges expected by the French.
How do you analyze the Castex government?
OLIVE TREE FAURE. The crisis demanded profound changes. The President of the Republic spoke of the need for him to reinvent himself. He went so far as to separate from his Prime Minister to mark a new start. And finally, what do we have? A policy more oriented than ever towards the right and a president who more than ever concentrates all powers. He chooses a Prime Minister who will not overshadow him. It is not a government, it is the whim of a president who wanted to be king!

If social reforms, such as dependency, were proposed to Parliament, would you not vote for it?
That the head of state announces that he wants to take care of the young and the elderly, who can disagree? But if he takes care of our seniors like retirees, beware of the damage!
What conclusions do you draw as number 1 of the PS?
We have just experienced an unprecedented health crisis. We are entering a violent social crisis. We must totally change direction. Finish with the first of the rope to finally take care of the first chore. Stop saving time on measures to avoid global warming. Break with a Jupiterian vision of democracy to enter an adult Republic that no longer infantilizes citizens. Since the municipal elections, the left and environmentalists have the immense responsibility of producing together the alternative political offer for 2022.
