French socialists have lost their way

Greek journalist Irini Moustaira, shocked by the evolution of the French Socialist Party [PS], decided to write a letter to Melina Mercouri (1920-1994), former minister of culture and the face of the left during the 1980s. "Melina, don't roll over in your grave; wake up and see this. Your old friend Jack Lang is slamming the door on the PS. This man of the left, lover of Greece, with whom you shared your summers and your vision of European culture, has lost his principles. Melina, if you were with us, you would take him by the ear. Approached by the government to run a committee, he prefers to drop the ball rather than breath new life into French socialism, like you did in Greece. Melina, the French are letting their material comfort and their egos, in short their pragmatism, get in the way of their ideology! Melina, don't cry, your friend Jack is a different person."
