One thing is certain, Olivier Faure will not be in the game. Bernard Cazeneuve will launch Saturday his movement "The Convention" in Créteil, in the presence of former President François Hollande. The adventure of the former Minister of the Interior is "a dead end", taunted the first secretary of the Socialist Party, invited this Wednesday on Public Senate. The latter also likes to recall a piece of advice from François Mitterrand to his troops: "We gather our camp, and we start with that". A lesson that Bernard Cazeneuve has obviously not learned, according to the deputy of Seine-et-Marne. "How do you get to the end when you start shooting at your side? The left needs the whole left," Faure said.

The boss of the socialists does not fear however a "split" within the party, yet torn between the pro and anti Nupes. "He will put forward his point of view, his ideas and then it will be a debate," he said, as the anti-Nupes left tries to organize. After returning his PS card in 2022, refusing to line up behind this electoral alliance, Bernard Cazeneuve sounded the alarm against La France insoumise (LFI), whose "violence" he had suffered in politics.
The former prime minister of François Hollande is preparing for the presidential election of 2027, in the hope of federating the disappointed of Emmanuel Macron and the opponents of the alliance with the leader of the Insoumis. "No party on the left is able to qualify" in 2027, pointed Olivier Faure to the Elysian ambitions of his former socialist colleague. "In the presidential election, the PS made 1.7%, Jean-Luc Mélenchon made 22%. And afterwards, we think that Jean-Luc Mélenchon is a problem!" he quipped, calling on the most refractory to "face the facts".
