Clémentine Autain wants to move the lines of her party. In a long blog post published on Sunday, the deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis offers several avenues for “the reorganization” of France Insoumise. She criticizes in particular the “gaseous form of the LFI”.
If she considers that “more flexible, action-oriented, very offensive on social networks, rid of the internal battles of Congress, our movement has been able to marry some of the demands of our time” Clémentine Autain points out several limits to the evolution of the LFI.
“The places of decision-making remain vague, the space for strategic debate is not identified, the division between the local and the national deserves to be redefined. (…) The loose forms also have serious flaws”, summarizes Clémentine Autain, deploring that LFI “is in fact based on a small core of leaders. »
“Without clear identification of the decision-making processes, the gaseous disorients and makes it easier to try the legitimacy of the decisions taken – even if the personality of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, keystone of LFI, has so far largely played a legitimizing role,” she also argues.
A collegial management
And to propose several changes, in particular at the head of the party. “A small, unified and determined group at the top of the IF will not be enough. We need to have hundreds of executives throughout the territory. Seeing bigger, broader, means bringing pluralism to life,” she says.
Clémentine Autain pleads for a collegial direction which “could combine three levels of legitimacy: elected officials, Action Groups, forces of the social and cultural movement”.
She invites us to rethink the party’s financing system and insists on the importance of the Nupes, the left alliance. “If the FI is to be the spearhead, it must beware of acting in a hegemonic manner with the partners of the Nupes”, warns the MP.
