Vincent Peillon denounced the back consultations

Except reversal in the evening, the Socialists are likely to enter today Reims in their Congress without having found a majority to govern the party. A first since the famous Congress of Rennes in 1990, where Lionel Jospin and Laurent Fabius it had argued the mitterrandiste legacy. Do not know if the appointment of Reims will be also traumatic. However, many were preparing, yesterday afternoon, to negotiate until after the weekend to try to find a majority.

Ségolène Royal, the text in policy (the motion) of which is at the top of the voting of the activists (29.5) but not majority, has registered yesterday that the rallying of a small group (the pole ecological, 1.5). Although Bertrand Delanoë wrote wanting to enter a "logic of Exchange", the letter he sent the same day to socialist activists is before any criticism in the hollow of its positions on the design of the party, the alliance strategy (with the Modem or not) and social-democracy that it had found "outdated".

More direct, Martine Aubry rejected the proposals made the previous day by the President of Poitou-Charentes them as being "not at the height of the issues". "Today, we are close to a political agreement" with Martine Aubry, said the early morning on RTL Benoît Hamon, flagship of the left of the PS. A few hours later, Bertrand Delanoë, Martine Aubry and Benoît Hamon representatives met to develop a common political text. "Since Ségolène Royal has not collected, our goal is to build another majority rally", explained François Lamy. This close to Martine Aubry recognized end of the day: "Nothing is with curl."

Occupy the media field

According to several participants, the meeting has failed on hesitation and the requirements of Harlem Désir, lieutenant of Bertrand Delanoë. The latter is not axis privileged between Benoît Hamon and Martine Aubry (relatives of the Mayor of Lille vowed him it was nothing). He asked especially as a possible candidate to the post of first Secretary was a supporter of the Mayor of Paris (came second in the militant vote). And, inevitably, it caught in Benoît Hamon (declared candidate) and Martine Aubry (which does nothing). Beyond these problems, each and the others try to justify in advance the construction of a coalition without Ségolène Royal: they repeat that 70 of activists chose one project other than the first presidential election, including on the design of the party and the alliance strategy.

The battle of the Congress also being a battle of communication which takes the Socialist members and opinion to witness, Ségolène Royal relatives are to occupy the media field. Vincent Peillon denounced the "back consultations." Aware that some support for Bertrand Delanoë are reluctant to exclude Ségolène Royal, François Rebsamen flatly offered a share of the posts, in an interview with "mediapart": "Should share responsibilities with those who will be departing for a political agreement." I think that Ségolène Royal, Vincent Peillon and a representative of Bertrand Delanoë, it would be very good for the PS.

The Mayor of Dijon also clarified that Ségolène Royal was sketched on TF1 before: if it fails to gather a majority of delegates during the weekend, she could still run the position of first Secretary on 20 November: then it will be back to the militants to decide.
