“I haven’t left her and I don’t want to leave her”assured Olivier Faure on RMC, while Jean-Luc Mélenchon had called on him yesterday to leave the room and slam the door on negotiations. “I hope that the French will be heard, that the political crisis will be short-lived. I voted for censure and I have no regrets”assured the first secretary of the Socialist Party (PS).
However, he believes, we “can't spend his life saying no. Sometimes you have to move forward. For me, my compass is the French. The first compass tells us that they voted on July 7. I want a left-wing prime minister who is open to compromise. The French gave us the advantage, but not an absolute majority. They said that Parliament had to work while respecting the balances given by the French. We must have the power of initiative, we on the left, but we must accept the idea, as we do not have an absolute majority, of accepting compromises, reciprocal concessions..
Concerning a possible renunciation of 49.3 in exchange for an abandonment by the opposition of a potential motion of censure, the first secretary of the PS underlines that it “There have been too many 49.3s. We have to get out of it. Parliament must regain its rights.” In exchange, Olivier Faure asks the opposition to be “ responsible enough to understand that she cannot censor us. It can oppose, but not censor.”
Concerning the candidacy of François Bayrou, Olivier Faure believes that we cannot “to give a signal of continuity with this past year. It can't be François Bayrou. It's not me who appoints, but it's not the right choice ».
“LFI gives you the feeling of being close to the adventure”regrets, moreover, the first secretary of the PS, who says he did not understand “why they didn’t come to the meeting at the Elysée. They weaken the left when they do that. We need all the forces of the left to come together to be able to demand a certain number of measures. Every time they play empty chair politics, they weaken the collective that we form.” “In a coalition, we do not spend our lives threatening or vituperating, we seek, on the contrary, to reconcile points of view”he argued: “The more Jean-Luc Mélenchon shouts, the less we hear him. »
