Fantastic scenario Socialist Party. After a night of suspense and challenges, the SP leadership announced that Martine Aubry had 42 votes ahead of Ségolène Royal in the election of the new First Secretary.
But supporters of Ségolène Royal refused to recognize the election of the mayor of Lille. The president of the Poitou-Charentes, believing that he was "stealing his victory," called in vain for a new vote next Thursday.
This tiny difference of 42 votes was announced by the outgoing leadership of the PS in a statement released Saturday at 5:40 in the morning. According to the aggregation of results of all federations mainland and overseas, which must still be validated by the party, the mayor of Lille won 67,413 votes or 50.02%, and Ms. Royal 67,371 votes or 49.98%, 58.87% of the 232,912 Socialist activists participated in the election.
Before this provisional conclusion-of-the endless soap opera of the succession of François Hollande, the PS was offered in the night from Friday to Saturday a scenario worthy of Florida in 2000. By mid-evening the vote took place at 17h-22h, the royalist announced a tendency to 52-53% in their favor. At 1 am, the aubrystes claimed victory on an ultra-tight score of 50.5%. "It seems already certain that Martine Aubry is the new first secretary of the PS", confirmed a little later Razzy Hammadi, near Benoît Hamon, agreed with the mayor of Lille between the two towers.
But supporters of Ségolène Royal immediately contested the results, seeing a final maneuver prevented their candidate by the chiefs of the PS. "We can not accept ads premature cheating that are unworthy of a great training," responded the member of the Essonne Manuel Valls, to the press gathered at the Maison des Polytechniciens, where the "royalists" were installed their headquarters for the evening.
"We will not steal this victory," he added before a few dozen activists who scandaient "democracy, democracy." The same went then to the headquarters of the PS to demonstrate to the cries of "MAGOUILLEURS" and "unity, unity". "Together Socialists," said event-one against a few dozen activists aubrystes.
The "royalists" particularly challenging "as the strongest" the results of the department of Nord, home of the mayor of Lille and Ségolène Royal received 23.99% of the vote, Martine Aubry 76.01%.
Faced with this stalemate, the SP leadership could proclaim the winner before the end of the night. "I can not, when I speak, who prevails," said Daniel Vaillant 2:15, to announce the results, after talks by telephone with Prime outgoing secretary François Hollande, remained in Corrèze. The former Interior Minister has invoked the results "extremely tight".
A telephone in the night between the two candidates failed to get out of confusion. According to him, Martine Aubry asked Ségolène Royal to have a "responsible attitude". In response, Ms. Royal has proposed to hold a new vote next militants Thursday, the president announced his association Desire for future Jean-Pierre Mignard. "This is the only way to break the deadlock that we have. All the socialist leaders must accept this solution, the challenges are too important for it not only gives voice to activists," said Manuel Valls.
But Martine Aubry immediately rejected the proposal. "A third round has no reason to be," replied the mayor of Lille in leaving the premises of the National Assembly where she had spent the evening. She said having spoken to François Hollande on the phone and that he had agreed.
Finally, Daniel Vaillant has published the results with a simple press release shortly before 6 am, after the results federations of Martinique and Guadeloupe have managed rue de Solferino. Claude Bartolone, Martine Aubry representative of the Committee to validate the results, the former Interior Minister has accepted an increase of 30 points from participation in Guadeloupe, federation who voted to 82.36% for Ségolène Royal to to raise the score of the finalist in the 2007 presidential election.
A national council will be convened by François Hollande to endorse the results, said management. "We are there may be checking each of the challenges, and that these results are provided to the national council meeting so that we can enable the PS out of this period as soon as possible," commented Mr. Bartolone.
One thing is safe Saturday morning: the Socialist Party, still without a leader or political line, was more than ever in crisis.
