The craziest Left in the world

The daily Le Soir writes: "Things are worse than expected. The scenes that took place among the Socialists over the weekend will go down in the sombre annals of political history. ... After 'the stupidest Right' we now have 'the craziest Left in the world', one that will make you abhor politics while pretending to reform it. That really takes the biscuit! ... This is the last thing the French Left needs. When Lionel Jospin was eliminated from the presidential race by [right-wing extremist] Jean-Marie Le Pen, they were struck to the heart. And they still haven't recovered from this wound, perhaps because they have not learned all they could from this embarrassing defeat. ... The Socialist Party is split down the middle into two camps that hate each other and only remain under the same roof for one reason: for the time being they are both too weak to face the Right alone."
