Carole Delga has never hidden her disappointment at seeing the Nupes form. The socialist president of the Occitanie region has other ideas to cheer up the left and make it take “the path of hope”. She exhibited them this Sunday at Brama small village in the Aude, where she organized the Meetings of the Left attended by some 1,700 elected officials or sympathizers.
The elected first repeated that she was a follower of “the left of doing”. “We want the left, our left, to return to the path of work, reflection and ideas, to rediscover the meaning of combat, in order to propose a credible and positive project,” she declared.
A referendum on superprofits
“What advances our cause is when the left speaks to as many people as possible with its values, implements solutions, demonstrates its usefulness,” she continued, in a speech with presidential campaign accents.
The regional president laid “the foundations of a new social project, around education, climate, work, Europe, health and citizenship”, themes on which the participants worked in several workshops. She also called for signing the petition for a shared initiative referendum to tax “superprofits”, carried in particular by the PS.
Spades a la Nupes
“The left is nothing when it delights in the stupid and wicked opposition”, chained Carole Delga in a tackle at LFI. “When I talk about power, I’m not talking about the struggle for places or privileges or the agreement of apparatuses to save a few seats”.
In the audience, pro-Nupes PS officials, such as PS number 2 Corinne Narassiguin, others less favorable such as MP Valérie Rabault or clearly anti-Nupes such as the mayor of Vaulx-en-Velin Hélène Geoffroy or the ex-first secretary of the PS Jean-Christophe Cambadelis, but also elected communists, ecologists or radical leftists from his regional majority.
For Carole Delga, “this France of Bram is not a utopia and will continue to travel in the territories”. She will also make her first trip to Brittany on October 22.
