“
The Socialist Party must be faithful to its own history.
This is the message hammered home by François Hollande, the day after a meeting between PS and LFI, organized at the headquarters of the Insoumis.
"
I'm not talking about my balance sheet, I'm talking about the history of the left and the PS, which made it possible to have two presidents and a prime minister of cohabitation
", he continued, referring, in addition to his case staff, his illustrious predecessor François Mitterrand (1981-1995), and the former head of government Lionel Jospin (1997-2002).

According to the former president, the electoral agreement on the table is at this stage "
unacceptable
" because it would lead to "
in three quarters of the constituencies in France, there will no longer be a socialist candidate in the first round, or ecologist, or communist

break
" with the Hollande five-year term, the interested party prefers to question many points imposed by the camp of Jean-Luc Mélenchon: the disobedience of the European treaties, the departure of NATO, the aid brought to the Ukrainians... so many positions likely to damage
the "credibility
" of the left.
“
It is a questioning of the very history of socialism
”, was moved the socialist.
Adding: “
No one refuses to discuss.
But discussing is not disappearing.

"
I don't want to bring this personal issue into the debate about the future of the left
