Former French President François Hollande emphasizes the necessity of a strong Socialist Party for a united left in his recent statements. He ruled out participation in Prime Minister François Bayrou’s government, criticizing the narrow majority. Hollande seeks a compromise on pension reforms rather than their complete repeal, advocating for discussions to enhance key social policies. Despite growing divisions between the Socialist Party and La France Insoumise, he asserts that the Nouveau Front populaire remains viable. Additionally, he distances himself from calls for President Emmanuel Macron’s resignation, aiming for political stability.
