The Secretary of the Socialist Party, Jean-Christophe Cambadelis, is preparing for the eventuality of a Primary Election. He says the Party must be ready if President Hollande finally decides not to exercise his "unofficial" right to stand as "sole Socialist Candidate", for a second term as President in May 2017.
Other Parties and Candidates are already actively planning their Campaigns. Following the catastrophic first term of President Hollande, every one of the 6 main Candidates in the "Republican" Primary totally agree what is required.
1) Increase retirement age for Pensions to 65.
2) Negotiate the end of the 35 hour week.
3) Drastic reduction of the number of civil servants.
4) End the tax on Private Fortunes.
These points in fact are the agreed weak points during the Presidency of Hollande. He will decide if he could win a second term of 5 years as President.
Hollande will leave no stone unturned. He has travelled far and wide during his Presidency and the French have seen superb pictures of him during the first visit of a French President to Polynesia for 30 years !
