The former prime minister wants to "raise hope again" and "avoid the victory of the far right at all costs" in 2027, he explains to Le Point.


Former Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve calls for the creation of a "

movement

" to unite left-wing tendencies hostile to Nupes, to "

raise hope again

" and "

avoid the victory of the far right at all costs.

in 2027, in an interview with

Le Point

.

Bernard Cazeneuve, who left the PS in 2022, launched a manifesto in September for an

"other left"

which

"breaks with

excess and sectarianism"

, signed by several hundred left-wing personalities, including almost all of the opponents of the pro-Nupes line within the PS.

Nearly 6,000 people have already signed it and a territorial organization has been put in place.

I have traveled the country in recent months at the invitation of local committees and I will continue these meetings.

Experts, citizens from different backgrounds have come forward and a collective reflection has begun

, argues the former tenant of Matignon.

I now call for the federation of all these forces in an organization that proposes and brings together those who aspire, beyond their political affiliations to the left, to the advent of a credible and serious approach, capable of arousing new hope

”.

“I am more determined than ever”

The former Prime Minister of François Hollande explains that it "

is for (him) to avoid at all costs the victory of the far right

".

I am more determined than ever, with many others, to take up this challenge

”, still assures the one who is very critical of the PS after the Congress this weekend in Marseille.

No political party strictly speaking for Bernard Cazeneuve but "

a movement which, if it unites, could eventually constitute a force

", he explains, referring to the Convention of Republican Institutions created by François Mitterrand in 1964, seven years before the Epinay congress of the PS.

The former deputy for La Manche also judges the pension reform "

unfair

" because "

it is based on the postponement of the legal age to 64, which will lead those who worked early, in the most trying jobs, to have to work longer and, for some of them, to contribute forty-four years rather than forty-three years for a full pension

".

And to add: "

The political calculation which led the executive to favor the consent of the parliamentary right, not yet rallied to this day, to that of the reformist unions, did not contribute to creating the conditions for compromise and trust.

To succeed, it would therefore have needed more justice, more social democracy and less political calculations

, ”according to him.
