The PS welcomes the few dissident applications in the second round on Sunday. But the refractory to the Union of the left still hope to weigh on the future.

Despite a hay fever, Luc Broussy, the president of the National Socialist Party (PS), is in great shape. Monday, June 13, in the aftermath of the first round of the legislative elections, he was guilleret before the score of candidates of the new Ecological and Social People’s People’s Union (Nuts) which threatens the absolute majority in the National Assembly in favor of Emmanuel Macron. He was especially euphoric in front of the few qualifies dissidents for the second round, Sunday June 19, among the 60 socialist candidates who presented themselves outside the Nutpes agreement: “We completely folded the match. The dissidents are swept. Doubt, doubt, It would be in full bad faith. The bet of Olivier Faure is winning. “Inexpable.
The party took care to disseminate a press release to try to thwart another interpretation than its own: “For your good information, on all of the dissident candidates, only three qualified for the second round. David Habib , in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Laurent Pannifous, in Ariège and Christophe Proença, in the lot. The latter would risk losing the left if he kept himself in the configuration of a triangular. “

Of the 60 dissidents, I arrive at 11.8 % of the votes on average. This shows that there is a political space between rebellious France and Macronie. We could have seen as many deputies without the cloud. On a credible line. “
Conversely, Luc Broussy highlights two symptomatic results, according to him, of the dissident deconction. In the Corrézienne district dear to François Hollande, Annick Taysse “did not even do 10 %!”, 9.8 %, exactly. While the former President of the Republic, the former Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, who left the PS when the latter allied with rebellious France, and Carole Delga, the president of the Occitanie region, who coordinated La Fronde, “jostled to come and support her”. In Le Mans, a city administered by Stéphane Le Foll, former Minister of François Hollande, “Sylvie Tholmont, the outgoing deputy, is not even qualified”.
