Internal wars continue in the PS. François Hollande in turn joined the dance on Monday evening to implicitly say all the bad things he thinks about the current direction of his party.

The former president then called for a new Socialist Party congress at the beginning of 2025, hoping that the current first secretary Olivier Faure will be replaced. This congress, underlined François Hollande of the LCP, should “pave the way for a broader meeting, with the friends of Raphaël Glucksmann”, the MEP who founded Place publique.

Discord around LFI

“We need a new figure at the helm of the Socialist Party to allow this meeting and this opening” towards the public square and the social democratic left, argued the Corrèze deputy. “Political life is made up of successions,” added the man who led the PS between 1997 and 2008.

The right wing of the PS, fiercely opposed to the LFI, pressures Olivier Faure so that the socialists break with the Insoumi, with whom they are allied within the framework of the New Popular Front.

Roller coaster relationships

Relations between François Hollande and Olivier Faure are also bad since the latter launched an “inventory” of the former’s five-year mandate. But they appeared quite cordial again with the return of François Hollande to the Socialist group of the National Assembly in July.

Last week, however, Olivier Faure echoed François Hollande, who had estimated that the next presidential elections would be “the moment of confrontation between the two lefts”. “Perhaps the clash with the right and the far right? », he responded publicly on X.
