In an interview with the Journal du Dimanche, the secretary general of the PS Pierre Jouvet acknowledged that “the European question [was] always the most difficult on the left”.


The secretary general of the PS Pierre Jouvet announced in

the Journal du Dimanche

that his party would propose a "

debate

" between the different left-wing parties, spread out from "

the start of the school year in September

" to "

early November

", to work on a "

gathering

" in view of the European elections of 2024. “

The European question has always been the most difficult question on the left

”, recognized Pierre Jouvet, while the components of the Nupes nurture differences on the subject.

Calling to take “

things in order

”, Pierre Jouvet therefore indicated that his party would propose “

to the whole of the left a debate at the start of the school year in September until the beginning of November

”.

Let us put our proposals, our convergences and our divergences on the table.

Let's take the construction time.

Let's work on a project.

At the end of this debate, we will see if a rally is possible

, ”he pleaded.

We are ready to discuss a Nupes list for the Europeans, but it is the substance that will determine the rest

”, supported Pierre Jouvet.

Divisions within Nupes

The question of a single list for Europeans meets in particular with reluctance at Europe Ecology - The Greens, where the national secretary Marine Tondelier repeated her opposition to the hypothesis.

The European "

are proportional elections in one round

", during which "

our voters, our sympathizers, our members demand to be able to put a green ballot in the ballot box

", she said again this Saturday on

France inter

.

At the same time, the former party boss Julien Bayou opened the door on

franceinfo

to a common list, "

on one condition

": to follow "

an ecological, federalist line, to reorient Europe

".

Environmentalists and socialists are also calling for a new act by Nupes, created during the 2022 legislative elections and dominated by La France insoumise, which won the largest battalion of deputies.

This alliance “

must find new life.

It must be our floor, never our ceiling

, ”argued Pierre Jouvet in the JDD, pleading for its expansion.

"

By the summer, we also want to launch in all the departments of the states general of the left and ecology to see how to do better

", explained the one who also says he is in favor of a single candidacy on the left for the presidential election in 2027.

But until then, "

if there were to be a dissolution, it is quite clear that the distribution of constituencies could not be the same as today

", assured Pierre Jouvet, considering that "

the balance of power

on the left "

are not the same as after the presidential election

".
