PS critic Benoit Hamon dominates the left primaries

  • There were three favorite candidates: Former Prime Minister Manuel Valls of the French Socialist Party (PS), as well as former Ministers Arnaud Montebourg and Benoit Hamon. Benoit Hamon Jalgi is unexpectedly victorious. He will be in second place with Manuel Valls on Sunday.

Hamonek bozen %36 bildu ditu eta Vallsek %31 (Argazkilaria: Jeremy Lempin)

Hamon has collected 36% of the votes and Valls has collected 31%. Montebourg, on the other hand, 17%. The latter has asked to vote for Hamon for the second round. The third candidate from the left side will be nominated on January 29. The other two are Jean-Luc Mélenchon of the Communist Party and Emmanuel Macron of the so-called liberal left, former minister of economics.

The candidates Hamon and Montebourg represent the leftist sector of the PS in the primaries. Valls on the right side. Valls has used in his campaign the theses of the same political model as François Hollande. In his words, he is the only option to appoint a leftist president. In line with the policy proposed by Hamon, it is by no means possible to confront the far-right Marine Le Pen and the far-right liberal Francois Fillon.

The first lesson of the primaries was: Two leftists within the PS cannot violate the same political trajectory.

A significant fact: In the 2011 primaries, 3,000,000 citizens elected Hollande as the party's presidential candidate. This time, only half participated. The crisis of the French socialist party is total.

There were seven candidates in the first round. Benoit Hamon from PS, Arnaud Montebourg, Vincent Peillon and Manuel Valls. The four have served as ministers in Hollande's government. The primaries were also attended by François de Rugy of the Ecologist Party, Jean Luc Bennahmias of the Democratic Front and Sylvia Pinel of the Extreme Left Party.

Whether Hamon wins or Valls wins, they will have to compete with two other left-wing candidates: Jean-Luc Mélenchon of the Communist Party and former Liberal Left economy minister Emmanuel Macron. Because of the truth, the leftism of the latter is very doubtful.

If Valls were the winner in the second round, Macron's chance on the way to Eliseo would be diminished. If Hamon wins, he should come to an agreement with Mélenchon. This would be the only chance for the left in the French Presidential Elections to enter into a similar competition of appearance.
