It is better to not pass north to the South

The wild rice planted in the ranks of the beginning of 2008 PS by the Treaty of Lisbon would belong to the past Ratified in February 2008, the Treaty, which should enter into force on 1 January 2009, is still in the freezer because of the Irish. However, its implementation is desired by the manifesto of the Party of European Socialists (PSE), including Martine Aubry sought to be the basis of the programme of the PS for the June European. But this time, the former supporters of the "no" not find (almost) more nothing wrong.

"The manifest will be the bedrock of our campaign, but we will not use us on this text", explains Benoît Hamon, spokesman for the near PS of Henri Emmanuelli, a Socialist who had more fervently campaigned against the "no" to the Lisbon Treaty. "This text is more balance of Martine Aubry to mine, it is certain!", he conceded. "References to the Treaty of Lisbon are more Allusive", he says, while minimizing the impact of the Treaty. "The Treaty removes many of freedom in the States, so, we see at the moment in the fight against the economic crisis that the States take many liberties against the criteria of convergence of the Treaty of Maastricht." Therefore, I think perhaps should not give the Treaty the sacred value that of some lend. "A speech surprising in the mouth of the flagship of the left wing of the PS. If today fits this text, it is primarily because after hardly constituted a majority with Martine Aubry, the left side of the PS knows that it must demonstrate discipline so that the new leadership of the PS does not crack. The explanation is for the fabiusiens, who had begun their focus over a year ago. This does not preclude Claude Bartolone to argue on the merits. "It is obvious that the text has been passed on by the crisis!" fun Claude Bartolone, a relative of Laurent Fabius. "The latest version of the manifest is soaked in need of regulation." "It is the first time that European Socialists take this point into account the crisis and that they realize that it crosses the whole of the planet", it said.

The case Vincent Peillon

Finally, the constitution of the lists may be as often the most perilous PS: it might well revive the feud between "aubrystes" and "royalist". The place of Vincent Peillon, elected in 2004 in the great Northwest region, is already in the sights of the allies of Martine Aubry. The tickets are expensive! The PS is available 5 leavers but should integrate 2 candidates: Gilles Pargneaux (pattern of the Federation of the North) and Anne Ferreira.

Between the requirements of the currents and respect for parity, some already play to consider other lands of election to Vincent Peillon. Difficult to disembark in Ile-de-France where Benoît Hamon and Harlem Désir, all two outgoing, could compete on the top of the list. Rest the possibility of being in a good position behind Catherine Trautmann, in the Grand East. "In politics, it is better to remain some time in the place where it is," warns Daniel Vaillant. It is better to not pass north to the South... "The puzzle has only just begun.
