Bernard Cazeneuve wants to present “a project for the country at the beginning of summer”

Former socialist prime minister Bernard Cazeneuve says he will present “a project for the country at the beginning of next summer”ensuring however that it was not constructed “a destiny” for himself, in an interview with West France published Sunday November 3.

The former minister of François Hollande, who begins a “tour of the regions”formulate “a project for the country at the beginning of next summer”seeing a “contribution to collective reflection”. “The reconstruction of the social-democratic camp cannot result in a juxtaposition of personal ambitions. What matters is what we are going to do on the merits”pleads Bernard Cazeneuve to the daily.

The one who is cited among the potential candidates on the left for the next presidential election, however, assures us: “I am not building a destiny for myself. This would not make sense in the current political context. » “The government left can only be reconstituted if there are enough disinterested people aware of the country's difficulties to want to overcome them together. The project must take precedence over any personal consideration”he still asserts.

Michel Barnier's first steps judged harshly

If, however, he were in a good position for the next presidential election, the former interior minister promises that he will not flee his “responsibilities”. “But I will not destroy any other hypothesis capable of avoiding the accession to power of the National Rally. In the historical circumstances we find ourselves in, we must be able to surpass our ambitions to build a common design”he also argues.

Bernard Cazeneuve was received last summer by Emmanuel Macron when the latter was looking for a prime minister capable of forming a government. But due to a lack of support on the left, where he defends a line which is against La France insoumise, Bernard Cazeneuve was ultimately seen preferring Michel Barnier, whose first steps he judges harshly. “If I have consideration and esteem for Michel Barnier, I condemn the political orientation of his government, which is undoubtedly very right-wing”he said.
