Each flows new figures new fraud in figure

The worst is never safe. Except for the Socialist Party. Unable to agree on a synthesis of their different motions at the end of the Reims Congress, leaders were relied in the vote of the militants, which have not clearly divided Ségolène Royal and Martine Aubry Friday night. Since then, both sides are fighting kicked figures and accusations of "cheats".

Initially, it is Martine Aubry, strong of an advance of just 42 votes (on 134.784 votes cast, representing a difference of 0.03), claimed victory. "As soon as our bodies will have validated the result of activists ..., I want to say to all very simply that I will be the first Secretary of all activists of the Socialist Party because no activist must miss the party," she said Saturday.

Ségolène Royal replied a few hours later on TF1. "It's still very strange to see a candidate in an election is proclaimed elected, even that there are currently a number of statements of the vote in courts of review and that the final decision will be taken that Tuesday." Martine Aubry ran because she knows precisely that the results are reverse.

Justice before today

Found to draw yesterday, among the relatives of the President of the Poitou-Charentes region, on water the nail: "In the light of all this dating of the federations in a kind of civic impulse, Ségolène Royal was elected first Secretary of the Socialist Party with a comfortable margin", said Manuel Valls. And strike at the heart in referring to the "cheats", including to Lille, in Martine Aubry, what justifies he appealed in the courts today for "false in Scripture". This accusation was immediately countered by an initiative of the opposite camp: Gilles Pargneaux, first Secretary of the Federation of the North, announced that it would a complaint for libel against Manuel Valls.

Each flows new figures, new fraud in figure. Yesterday, several hardware errors or future adjustments have been raised. Thus, in the Gironde, the first outgoing Federal Secretary, Alain Anziani, agent of Martine Aubry, made a "transcription error" State whose correction results, ensures, by 11 votes more for its champion and 41 less for its rival. The MEP Gilles Savary (pro-Royal) immediately indicated that must be expected a "consolidated result" after"the tally lists, under pluralistic control." Denunciations of "anomalies" also came from Guadeloupe, Moselle and New Caledonia. It is the "gluing Board" (read here) that it is up to review this morning minutes of federations.

"Unit." Unit!

The conflict grew bitter at this point, if not simply because of detestation public notoriety between the two women. It is also because the battle is identity in nature: it opposed two conceptions of the Socialist Party. "In the serious crises, there a moment where the process at work cannot be stopped, things escape us and can succeed despite itself to the split as can no longer get out of the crisis together", analyses the political scientist Gérard Grunberg (read the interview below), even if Ségolène Royal has excluded from the Socialist Party. For the next few days, two tactics oppose: in the camp of Martine Aubry, means well uphold the result by the national Council for Tuesday. François Lamy, lieutenant of the Mayor of Lille, on the opposing camp refer the responsibility of the division: "He must gather." It will be difficult, because some individuals have sought to surdramatiser an already complicated situation. We will try to be responsible for two. "With Ségolène Royal, it expected nothing this Council whose members are mostly opposed. "We call a new vote controlled and indisputable, said Manuel Valls. We do not believe that the new first Secretary can be elected in such confusion.

While the iron arm continues, activists are the points: "unit." Unit! "or" all together, Socialist. " ", chanted Saturday around 2 o'clock in the morning, rue de Solférino, during the interminable waiting for the results.
