Algerian-born MP quits French Socialist Party
Fatiha Keloua Hachi cited the party's political direction and a 15€ primary fee as reasons for her departure.
Fatiha Keloua Hachi, a French Member of Parliament of Algerian origin, announced on Friday, November 6, that she is leaving the Socialist Party. She stated her decision was driven by a lack of alignment with the party's current political direction after nearly 20 years of membership.
Hachi explained her departure was due to a "profound sadness, but without bitterness," as she no longer shared the party's political orientation. The victory of Raphaël Glucksmann in the Socialist primary for the 2027 presidential election, and the 15€ fee for participation, were key factors in her decision.
The MP, who joined the party in 2007 to fight racism and inequality, believes the Socialist Party has failed to represent the anger of the working classes. She aims to maintain a clear position for the people she represents, advocating for a left that protects the less fortunate and reduces inequality.
