The leader of the French Socialist Martine Aubry wanted to bring an internal party critics with an ultimatum to reason. It has so discredited himself and scored perhaps the most beautiful political own goal of the season.
The Civil Rights has a boss, Nicolas Sarkozy, whose authority is beyond question in his own camp. Quite different is the situation on the opposite side. The opposition Sozialisten besitzen viele Häuptlinge und Möchtegern-Chefs, die alle danach streben, eines Tages die Führung zu übernehmen. Diese interne Qual der Wahl ist seit langem das Drama des Parti Socialiste (PS), meint auch der Stadtpräsident Bertrand Delanoë, der selber zu den Protagonisten in diesem permanenten Gerangel um die Hauptrolle zählt: "Wird es uns endlich gelingen, unsere individuellen Talente in Einklang mit unserem kollektiven Projekt zu bringen?", lautet seine fast verzweifelt klingende Frage an seine Genossen. Einmal mehr nämlich hat der Hauskrach bei den Sozialisten einen neuen Höhepunkt erreicht. Schuld daran ist ausgerechnet die Parteichefin Martine Aubry. Sie betrachtet es als ihre vorrangige Aufgabe, die ewig transform feuding factions into a united and powerful opposition party. do you bore it very bad that some troublemakers quite different than the way to follow the party leadership.
The very ambitious Manuel Valls, who sees himself as a kind of "Tony Blair" of the French left and wants to emphasize as a first step towards modernizing the word "socialism" from the party name and the program, she sent an ultimatum: If he not fit with the Socialists, he could escape so. What of post Valls refused indignantly. Instead of successfully calling the dissidents with their ukase to order, the Aubry made with their authoritarian posturing publicly ridiculed. And Valls unexpectedly received a forum.
Since its very close election against Segolene Royal in the fall of 2008 as Nuimmer Aubry controversial one. The disgrace of the correspondence with Valls lacked the party leader after the fiasco of the European elections in early June, for which it was made by some comrades personally responsible, just. Instead of isolating the minority so far very Valls, Aubry reached the opposite. Sources close to her former rival Royal, who was reconciled with it for form's sake, now replaced by Valls sympathy. Julien Dray, Royal's adviser in the presidential campaign, takes Aubrey's style "absurd to cry". His refusal sounds more brutal than any criticism aus dem gegnerischen Lager: "Mit ihren Briefen bestätigt Martine Aubry, was in grossen Zügen den Beginn ihres Mandats als Erste Sekretärin des Parti Socialiste geprägt hat: Hilflosigkeit, Dilettantismus und vor allem erstaunliche Unfähigkeit zu verstehen, was in der Partei und in der Gesellschaft vorgeht."
Valls ist nicht der Einzige, der den PS in seiner traditionellen Form für erledigt hält. Bereits einen Nachruf auf eine Partei "die nicht sterbend, sondern tot ist", publizierte am Sonntag im "Journal du Dimanche" der Philosoph Bernard-Henri Lévy. Dieser eloquente Vertreter der Pariser "Gauche caviar" (Salonlinken) hat den Sozialisten als Weggefährte bisher trotz allem die Treue gehalten hatte. Even if he had had in the recent elections to the European Parliament, the oppressive feeling, "resurrect dead body to do" with his ballot paper one. He advises his socialist friends, to come clean and to risk a new beginning.
As much as they look but also in Europe's social democracy, they are hardly encouraging for models is another adviser, the former considered to Le Monde, Jean-Marie Colombani. But as the Socialists were in contrast to the history of the outdated communist no "extinct star" in the political firmament, there was still hope, if their exponents are mutually respected and their constituents. For a declared dead shall provide the PS with its litigation in any event for a lot of noise.
