Social democracy has "no longer any meaning" and must give way on the left to "progressivism", defends in a forum in the Sunday newspaper the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt, holding a left wing of macronism.
“We will not rebuild social democracy!
"says the ex-socialist, "for the simple and good reason that the lazy shifts towards the extreme left, in a counter-historical movement, have taken away its meaning from the word: it no longer has meaning and no longer indicates more direction”.
And Olivier Dussopt calls for “turning a page and fully claiming progressivism”, defined as the aspiration for “social, societal and scientific, industrial and human, educational and environmental” progress.
"From now on, progressives must meet, invent and propose"
Progressivism “sets the whole of society in motion, never in a forced march, but in dialogue, consultation, listening;
a method which, under the guidance of the President of the Republic, will support the development of our pay-as-you-go pension system,” he continues.
“A development which should allow new progress such as the increase in small pensions to 1,100 euros, as important for social justice as the introduction of the minimum wage.

“Progressivism has the possibility of expressing itself within Renaissance”, he wants to believe: “There is its place.
But it will not stop there, simply because great aspirations always go beyond party lines.
In this logic, it is now necessary that the progressives meet, invent and propose.
They have to speak to each other clearly, to speak clearly to the French.
