The Essonne: Malek Boutih takes a lead in the wire in the primary elections PS

They will form today one block around François Holland, in meeting with Evry. But the smiles are likely to be contracted on the photograph of family. The camps of the two continuing candidates for the socialist primary elections of legislative in the 10th district of the Essonne (Grigny, Holy-Genevieve-of-Wood, Fleury-Mérogis, Morsang-on-Barley, Saint-Michel-sur-Orge) will surely at the head have the low blows of which each one made proof during this rocambolesque countryside - historical but in the bad direction according to a socialist director - and who was balanced yesterday evening by the official nomination of Malek Boutih.

After five days of suspense, the former president of S.O.S Racism was finally stated victorious of the vote of the militants organized in the stronghold of the Socialist Julien Dray. Two votes separate it from Fatima Ogbi, the substitute for the outgoing deputy who does not represent himself.

For Thursday, nine bulletins have been in the middle of the war that deliver themselves, here are months, Julien Dray and his former better friend Malek Boutih. Last nine litigious envelopes which could reverse this ultra-tight vote gained by Boutih of three votes Thursday evening. For many elected officials essonniens, there was not any doubt that these voices disputed in the section of Grigny (the city where Fatima Ogbi is assistant) would be favorable to the faithful support of Julien Dray. But finally, it is well the name of Malek Boutih which arises from the final examination organized in any small committee street of Solferino (Paris VIIe). The figures are there, they spoke. Whose act, entrusts Fatima Ogbi. I invite it from now on to take all his role in this countryside, reacts the winner.

The defeat is recognized, but the taste remains bitter for the losing one. Disappointment and incomprehension remain. I continue to say that from the beginning, nothing in this election was just. Elected of Grigny points problems the evening of the vote where one refused with militants to vote (note: in addition to the nine disputed envelopes, other charts of militants were under the blow of filed appeals at the last minute by Boutih). There was a dysfunction in the polling station of Grigny where one deprived of many militants of the vote to which they had right. To put the question of the will of the national authorities to impose Malek Boutih is not illegitimate.

Intox, desintox, crisis meetings, meetings secret, pressures: the fratricidal war which started in June is amplified these last days. Clearly, Boutih had decided to be appointed and to carry the blows which it was necessary for becoming it, but opposite, they accepted not only the blows but guaranteed them by not denouncing them, tacle a close relation of Julien Dray, nauseated by this countryside very except policy whose result was obviously written by advance. Charges which are always done under cover of anonymity, notices François Lamy, mayor of Palaiseau and in charge of the electoral questions to the Socialist party. In my opinion, seldom a vote will not have been also transparent. It thus gives all its legitimacy to the winner.

On its side, Malek Boutih ensures to have made only observe the rules and statutes. I am very happy result, certainly tight but maintaining it is the true election which starts, that of François Holland. One engueulés oneself very extremely, now, gather us, entonne the mayor of Holy-Genevieve-of-Wood, Olivier Leonhardt, support of Malek Boutih. A call to the unit which will have perhaps a little evil to pass. In particular for Fatima Ogbi. To continue after such an election, it is necessary to have the solid heart.
