In full discussions on the future Prime Minister, the first secretary of the PS and NFP deputy Olivier Faure clarified the position of his party this Wednesday, December 11 on RMC-BFMTV, regretting that the rebels “weaken the left” by not coming to discuss Matignon of a partial application of the program of the New Popular Front.
A definitive break with La France insoumise? The boss of the PS, Olivier Faure, was even more offensive than usual towards his LFI partners this Wednesday, December 11 on RMC-BFMTV.
After agreeing to discuss at the Elysée with Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday, who is still looking for a new Prime Minister, the first secretary and deputy regretted that, unlike his environmentalist and communist comrades from the NFP, the rebels did not do the same . Olivier Faure even believes that LFI “weakens the left” by practicing the “empty chair policy”.
“LFI gives the feeling of being missing out on the adventure, I didn’t understand why they didn’t come to the Elysée. They weaken the collective that we form,” he judges.
“When they withdraw into themselves, they make a mistake, but I am not trying to teach anyone a lesson,” he insists, also attacking their leader.
“The more Jean-Luc Mélenchon shouts, the less we hear him. He should understand that his responsibility, an important leader of the left, is not to be in resistance. He must also be the one who advances, proposes and accept compromises,” judges Olivier Faure.

No Bayrou in Matignon for the PS
Concerning the future appointment of a Prime Minister, a government in which the PS seems ready to participate in the event of concessions made to the left, Olivier Faure on the other hand seems to veto François Bayrou, whose name is circulating in Matignon. “I have respect for him. But he has supported (the Macronists) for seven years. The French want a break with the policy pursued so far,” he believes.
“It can’t be François Bayrou. It’s not me who nominates, it might be him, but it’s not the right choice,” he judges on RMC-BFMTV.
Olivier Faure is still calling for a left-wing Prime Minister, while Emmanuel Macron has given himself 48 hours to appoint one.
