Interview Pourrier Amirshahi, Charente Libre. He has 37 years, it is federal secretary and national secretary in the Charente. He has an uncompromising look at his party but hopeful
After the hammering of the Socialist Party in the European elections, the federal secretary in Charente Pouria Amirshahi answers our questions on the return of the national council held Tuesday evening Paris.
In 1994, Michel Rocard resigned after the defeat of the European PS. Martine Aubry would she have done the same?
Pouria Amirshahi. No. If she resigns, we come back for a mandatory conference. Six months of media exposure and the main players of games before microphones and cameras. Thereby increasing the bad image of the party when there is so much to do about the problems of France and the world. However, I concede that maintaining the post of first secretary is not a guarantee. Benoît Hamon
, you're very close, had said that he would start beating. Remains. Why?
PA He wanted to leave and I was among those who convinced him to stay. It is the sole or almost the bodies of the party who speaks normally, as Cohn-Bendit or Besancenot. He speaks clearly and directly. He had to rest. It is the future and hope for a Another PS. The National Council
which you participate Tuesday evening lasted five hours. After five hours for what, to what atmosphere?
PA We started at 300, we were more than fifty to 22 hours. I had signed up to speak. I unsubscribed after half past one. Nothing has happened. It nothing happens. We are bored in the party. That said, this conference was needed quickly to avoid fire in all directions this week. There is much talk of rebuilding and renovation. For now, it sounds hollow.
What you propose to revive the party which appears in a state of clinical death?
PA First the Socialist Party is not dead. He is seriously injured. It should be within a week of actions and gestures and concrete strengths. Must Martine Aubry calls quickly around the table Ecology Europe, the Left Front and the New Anti-Capitalist Party. This is not to make a UMP but left at least create a common home. Room for everyone but for every living room where we meet continuously.
A common house but what choice: social democracy, a Marxist left color or some other way?
PA must open up, debate it. You have to imagine an alternative model of production, another consumption model. The role of the PS or a leftist party that is not to return people to a consumer role but give them a role as a citizen. It must be practical so that people hear us, not saying we would not do better than others. Europe
ecology has 14 MEPs but neither Eva Joly, nor José Bové, among others, are Greens. The PS could open way?
PA Greens ecology with Europe, the PC with the Left Front have begun their own excess. We know what we have to do. We excel is the key. Obviously, when you hear Gerard Collomb, Mayor of Lyon, that he will vote reluctantly to European and to lecture Tuesday night in the national council, we see that there's bread on the board. Many people do not live up to their mission.
the first round of the 2007 legislative elections, candidates of the Socialist Party got over 60,000 votes in the Charente. Last Sunday 22,315 ... PA
It happened in Charente what happened everywhere. With a small consolation: our results are better than in other departments of the vast region. Our campaign may have been helpful. Even if I regret it was not stronger, than large elected are not involved or very little.
Segolene Royal is silent since Sunday, the Greens will have wings to the regional. What do you think?
PA Segolene Royal is right when she criticizes the old party. She carries a real outrage. It is a good president area not expected to act in the field of ecology. For these three reasons at least it has some advantages, both in the regional perspective as to preserve its national dimension. And even as it is now vice-president of Socialist International.
