“We tried for two months to negotiate with the Prime Minister, but he only reached out to Marine Le Pen. She is the only one with whom he entered into dialogue. In the end, he didn’t succeed, but the truth is that he never tried to argue with us. He admitted to being a prisoner of his common base, and therefore not being able to make the slightest gesture in our direction. Olivier Faure declared this morning on BFM-TV. The first secretary of the Socialist Party estimated that “the government has[vait] has done everything from the beginning to never be led to the left being able to make its proposals, and [il] regrets it.”
“All sectors will lose” in the event of a vote of censure, said earlier this morning on France 2, the Minister of the Economy, emphasizing that“there are no French people who win, there are no companies who win”. “The country is facing a turning point”he further affirmed. Reacting to this, as well as to the equally morning remarks of the budget minister, Olivier Faure declared: “Government ministers are doing their part when they say it’s them or chaos. But there is also a form of truth in what they say, because, when we freeze the income tax scale, we mechanically bring in, due to inflation, a certain number of tax households [380 000] in income tax. But if the left is called to power tomorrow, it will draw up an amending finance bill in January. »
The first secretary of the PS also wants Emmanuel Macron to appoint “a left-wing prime minister” but open “compromise” with the central bloc in Parliament in the event of the overthrow of the Michel Barnier government in the coming days. “It is the head of state who appoints the prime minister, but I simply tell him to appoint a left-wing prime minister: the popular front in the government and the republican front in the Assembly, this is how we we can progress”he insisted.
Olivier Faure, who neither wants nor wishes the resignation of Emmanuel Macron, “even if it’s true that he is responsible for all of this”confirmed that the socialists would vote without hesitation for censorship of the government with the National Rally. He also showed himself hostile to an early presidential election, because “It is likely that Marine Le Pen will be very, very high in the first round, and that she can win. Could the left want the election of Marine Le Pen? No. And then, even a newly elected president, with what majority would he govern the country? »
