“We do not want one more congress. We want to do more than a congress “writes M. Vallaud in this forum, where he seems to be laying a possible candidacy for the post of first secretary, without ever saying it explicitly. After the 2023 Marseille congress, which had violently fractured the PS, “This congress can be the worst or the best of ourselves”warns Boris Vallaud.
“The worst would be the rumination of the past, the resentment of some and the spirit of revenge of others”he believes, pursuing: “The best would be in the preparation of the future, a congress of reconciliation, affirmation and ideas to put us at the time of the world. »» And call to “A doctrine congress. Municipal doctrine proposed to the French and the French in 2026. Doctrine for the country, with the found fraternity, and as a method of socialism as horizon ”.
“Everything is not to be done again”
Because “It must be recognized that we have not been able to give our party and our country a singular project which is a standard and a rallying point”he admits. While the outgoing first secretary, Olivier Faure, announced that he was a candidate for his succession, Boris Vallaud, who is part of his current, stresses that “Everything is not to be killed, everything is not to be redone, everything is in our hands”.
But the MP for the Landes warns: “If our recovery should only be due by the grace of circumstance agreements at the time of the legislative elections – which we were right to establish – then we would take the risk that it is ephemeral. »» He calls for “Unite the socialists in a spirit of camaraderie found” and at “Gather the legacy of power and the daring of the rupture to build a strong, credible and conquering socialist party”.
“Thus reconciled, the socialists will then be able to unite the left”he says, wishing “Union with any force but not the union at all costs”And “A union in which socialists with found forces will be able to play the first role. But it cannot be decreed. He deserves “he warns. The goal is for him to “Building a left project for France and beat the national rally in the first round in 2027, because the republican front vacillates and is no longer guaranteed for the second”.
