His faction will allow them to choose between the incumbent first secretary, \u00a0Olivier Faure\u00a0, and Rouen&#8217;s mayor, \u00a0Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol\u00a0. This decision was communicated Friday, May 30, through an official statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph\">Vallaud&#8217;s faction garnered \u00a017.41% of the votes\u00a0, trailing behind the two leading candidates. As a result, his position within the race is no longer tenable for the subsequent round. &#8220;We will not all make the same choice on June 5 for the national first secretary vote,&#8221; he asserted, indicating that his supporters hail from both Faure and Mayer-Rossignol&#8217;s factions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph\">\u201cWithin Unir [Vallaud&#8217;s faction], we come from diverse backgrounds, and we cherish our diversity, which is our strength,\u201d stated the announcement. Meanwhile, both candidates vying for leadership have begun courting Vallaud, who is now seen as a potential kingmaker in the race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph\">The current representative from \u00a0Lot\u00a0, \u00a0R\u00e9mi Branco\u00a0, a close ally of Vallaud, shared with Agence France-Presse that members are permitted to express their personal opinions. He clarified that while Vallaud might take a personal stance, this will not reflect the collective decision of his supporters.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article__sub-title\">&#8220;A Pact for Governance&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph\">Vallaud, positioning himself as a candidate for \u00a0&#8220;reconciliation&#8221;\u00a0 within the party, aims to uphold not just the cohesion of his faction, but also that of the PS itself. Since the last divisive congress in \u00a0Marseille in 2023\u00a0, the party has struggled with internal rifts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph\">With the results of this first vote, Vallaud explained, \u201c\u00a0no orientation text will hold an absolute majority\u00a0 in our institutions, thereby making collaborative efforts essential.\u201d His faction will propose a \u00a0&#8220;pact for governance&#8221;\u00a0 to the newly elected first secretary, requesting an inclusive national direction that respects minority perspectives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph\">Additionally, they urge the new leader to consider various proposals, including the \u00a0&#8220;demarchandisation&#8221;\u00a0 of society, the establishment of a \u00a0&#8220;L\u00e9on Blum academy,&#8221;\u00a0 and the creation of an internal media outlet aimed at enhancing internal communication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph\">Members of Unir believe the PS can begin preparing immediately for the \u00a02026 municipal elections\u00a0 and the next presidential race. Their objective is to ensure the party occupies a central role in a unified left campaign, collaborating with figures such as \u00a0Rapha\u00ebl Glucksmann\u00a0 and \u00a0Fran\u00e7ois Ruffin\u00a0.<\/p>\n<section class=\"catcher catcher--favoris\">\n<div class=\"catcher__content\">\n            <span class=\"catcher__title catcher__title--hide\">Read also |<\/span><br \/>\n            <span class=\"catcher__desc\"><br \/>\n                <span class=\"icon__premium\"><span class=\"sr-only\">Article reserved for subscribers<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/politique\/article\/2025\/05\/28\/congres-du-ps-olivier-faure-et-nicolas-mayer-rossignol-a-touche-touche-boris-vallaud-en-faiseur-de-roi_6608925_823448.html\" class=\"js-article-read-also catcher--favoris__link\" data-premium=\"1\" id=\"article-title-3424471\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Congress PS: Olivier Faure and Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol &#8220;in close touch&#8221;, Boris Vallaud as kingmaker<\/a><br \/>\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n<p>\n            <button class=\"lmd-btn-icon lmd-btn-icon--primary lmd-btn-icon--m js-lmd-dropdown-favorite-toggler\"\n                    aria-controls=\"lmd-dropdown-favorite\" aria-label=\"Read later\"\n                    aria-describedby=\"article-title-3424471\" data-article-id=\"3424471\" data-position=\"read also\"\n                    data-url=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/politique\/article\/2025\/05\/28\/congres-du-ps-olivier-faure-et-nicolas-mayer-rossignol-a-touche-touche-boris-vallaud-en-faiseur-de-roi_6608925_823448.html\"\n                    data-status=\"\"><br \/>\n                <span class=\"icon__favorites\"\/><br \/>\n                <span class=\"js-btn-icon-tooltip\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Read later<\/span><br \/>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"author\">\n<p class=\"author__detail\">\n            <span class=\"author__name\">Le Monde with AFP<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"article__reactions\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/syndication\/\" class=\"reuse__content\" title=\"Reuse this content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Reuse this content<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/category\/general\/\" rel=\"dofollow\">General News &#8211; 2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boris Vallaud at a campaign meeting in Dordogne.
