This observation of retreat for the presidential election concerns him: “The retreat has become widespread. The far-right and far-left parties have always held a backward-looking, retrograde discourse and use retreat as their main selling point. But more worryingly, it has also become the norm for the government parties. First, the right chose the candidate with the most reactionary platform, and today, the socialists are also falling back on their radicalism.”
More anecdotally, while looking at the poster featuring the seven candidates of the socialist primary, Laurent Lanquar-Castiel noticed an amusing significant detail: the logo of the PS, which accompanied all socialist candidates, has changed: to appear more modern, the PS has become the “social-ecology.”
This confirms Laurent Lanquar-Castiel’s opinion: “when the left needs ideas, it turns to the ecologists to find them!”
However, the PS does not change, it is still productivist, for nuclear power and Notre-Dame-des-Landes, against universal income, and it tramples on solidarity in the Roya.
“What is most unlikely is that if the socialist candidate maintains his eco-washing positions, which are in the minority within the PS, he will have to campaign against the ideas of his own party and his new supporters.”
