Yesterday it multiplied the meetings with the heavyweights

A call to the "burst", to a "revolution"... the words not lacked not yesterday, the day after a historic defeat of the PS in the European elections. "The French have returned us the image that is ours: divided, huddled on ourselves, gives me even more responsibility to the Refoundation of the Socialist Party", recognized, first Secretary, Martine Aubry, on France Inter, indicating that it would "accelerate the movement still" renovation undertaken. Yesterday, it multiplied the meetings with the heavyweights. The national Secretariat to be held this morning has been cancelled. On the other hand, a national Council will be held late in the afternoon.

Officially, no leading Socialist starting with Ségolène Royal, very discreet since Sunday dollar burdens Martine Aubry, and all point to the "collective responsibility".

Martine Aubry remains in position

But "it is clear that at the national Council, there must be strong initiatives that are taken by Martine Aubry and the direction, to say that everything must change from the ground to the ceiling to the Socialist Party," said yesterday Aurélie Filippetti France 2. Number three on the Socialist list in the East, it not was elected Sunday. "Cannot be simply redo the façade, again paint the walls are collapsing" insisted.

But that can actually happen in this national Council Martine Aubry will not leave the ship. Indeed, "who would take his place and do the dirty work", is a member of the management. In addition, since the eviction of Michel Rocard in 1994 when the PS had registered its worst score in the European (14), the Statute of the party were modified. First Secretary now draws its legitimacy from the vote and activists of the national Council, who had refused its confidence to the former Prime Minister of François Mitterrand. "The most probable is that it nothing happens, believes a member of the management disillusioned. We are not going to add Division to division while the French have criticized us precisely our disunity. It cannot be considered nothing happened and remain the words and good intentions.

"It is change or die."

The revolution will not be tomorrow. The quadras (of Benoît Hamon at Vincent Peillon passing by Arnaud Montebourg) and a few "young elderly" (such as Pierre Moscovici) might well be "facilitators" of the national Council: since 48 hours, they are the most ardent advocates of change. For the PS, "change or die, the political parties are also lethal," therefore prevents Pierre Moscovici. Not revolution, Martine Aubry should announce a "Refresh" of the direction in which it will involve personalities who are currently not party (talking about including Vincent Peillon and Pierre Moscovici). "Governance" of the PS will be modified "so that the power and decisions are more concentrated", indicates a member of the management. And another Member of the Seraglio added: "it going that Martine, finally, make the choice, working collectively, and ceases to be a kind of average of its opinions, those of Benoît Hamon and Laurent Fabius...".

Martine Aubry should also announce a kind of "renovation schedule", so that this word, the most fashionable in the PS for months, finally, as nicely said a personality of the party, a "positive fertility."
