Socialists in France are more than disappointed with the Presidency of François Hollande since his election in May 2012, when he defeated Nicolas Sarkozy. They are now furious and convinced that he could never win a second term as President !
Simply said, Hollande's Economic policies have been a catastrophy. He has not streamlined National overheads, he has increased taxation and the cost of living has increased.
President Hollande however, still desperately clings to the hope that things will improve and that he could be re-elected ! Alas, with monotonous regularity, unemployment rises and his popularity declines.
It has got to the point where left wing Socialists are now desperately clamouring for a Primary Election to select the Party Candidate for the next Presidential Election in May 2017.
However, the Socialist Party Secretary, Cambadelis, awaits a sign from Hollande, who insists it is still much too early for him to decide whether he will stand or not ! He still has Presidential duties to fulfill !
Disappointed Socialists, led by Martine Aubry, are openly debating the saliant weaknesses during his Presidency and lamenting the effect this could have on the Electors who voted for them in 2012. According to them, Hollande has moved too far to the right (cf the press gallery published in "LE MONDE" dated 25th of February).
However, one can be very sure that Martine Aubry will get things moving by galvanising everyone around her !
