a LFI-see direction
", hoping for "
convergences
" with Anne Hidalgo and Carole Delga at the January convention.
According to the former secretary of state of François Hollande, the left alliance concluded in May the "
Nupes

a subjugation, a denial, and here we are trapped by motions of censure wanted by Jean-Luc Melenchon
”.
The group of PS deputies did not vote for the fourth motion of censure presented Friday by LFI, while a majority of socialists had done so in previous motions.
"
It is urgent to suspend this form of participation in the Nupes to take the time to reflect among socialists on the strategy of union that we want
", declared Hélène Geoffroy.
She tackled Olivier Faure: “
We are with an LFI-see direction.
We are struggling to express our voice in our dedicated bodies, we were recently refused to present a motion to the vote, which has always been a tradition, and we have 70 comrades suspended without any other form of trial
"for their dissent in the legislative.
Hélène Geoffroy thus deplored the “
transformation of a democratic party in movement around a small clan
” which “
reorients alone
” the strategy of the PS.
The National Council of the PS validated by a vote the agreement concluded with LFI, EELV and the PCF in May.
