The president of the socialist group in the Senate, Patrick Kanner, invites in a forum at the JDD, the "
sincerely left-wing friends who have joined La République en Marche
" to "
find the path of their values
", and to reject a "
false progressivism
".
This column entitled "
Let's turn the page on false progressivism
" is a response to that of the Minister of Labor and ex-socialist Olivier Dussopt, supporter of a left wing of Macronism, who called a week ago in the same weekly to "
turn the page of social democracy
", believing that it should give way to "
progressivism
".
“
Dear sincere left-wing friends who joined La République en Marche believing in a renewal of our political spectrum, you are in fact supporting a right-wing movement,
argues Patrick Kanner.
Can a government be progressive when it refuses to contribute to the national effort from companies that reap record profits on the backs of the French who pay ever more expensive fuel and energy, when it is actually lowering social minima by unraveling labor law?
»
In this context, "
social democracy has a major role to play
", argues Patrick Kanner, calling for "
a change of compass: reforms must aim for a fairer social organization
".
“
Dear friends sincerely on the left, wake up.
If you consider yourself the “progressive wing” of a liberal right movement, you are misguided,
continues the senator.
Know how to find the way to your values.
It's not too late!
