Since Socialist Francois Hollande’s disappointing presidency, the French left has been in disarray, losing much of its political base to centrist Macron, a former Socialist
France has long been the land of rebellions and profound political transformations since the 1789 Revolution, which not only ousted the country’s monarchy but also inspired many nations around the world to establish their own nation-states based on popular mandate.
Francois Gemenne, a political scientist at Sciences Po in Paris and the University of Liège in Belgium, has no surprises about the French left’s declining pattern because he thinks that “France is fundamentally rather a conservative country. Therefore, the left has never been strong in France.” Under the neo-liberal order, the Socialist Party’s increasing ties with pro-business circles have also alienated many traditional voters of the party, according to Murat Yigit, an academic at the Istanbul Commerce University, who was educated in France.
With the Socialists’ political base being badly weakened, “there is no blank space left on the left because in France the left has been always organised around the Socialist Party until now”, according to the professor. “Certainly, part of them is being taken over by Macron himself and another part is being taken over by the extreme left.
“If I were in her place, I’d give up,” Royal added, referring to Hidalgo, who receives less than five percent support,While Hidalgo is officially the party’s presidential candidate, she recently lost an unofficial online “people’s primary” to Christiane Taubir, a left-wing icon, but still refused to pull out her candidacy.
