The Rennes Congress was the thirteenth national congress of the French Socialist Party (''Parti socialiste'' or PS). It took place from 15 to 18 March 1990. In 1988, François Mitterrand was re-elected President of France but the PS obtained only a relative majority in the National Assembly. Elected with a moderate program (for a "united France"), Mitterrand chose his former rival Michel Rocard, leader of the right-wing of the party, as Prime Minister. Furthermore, centerist politicians joined the cabinet. Lionel Jospin, the party's First Secretary since 1981, was appointed national Education Minister. Mitterrand wanted his former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius succeedeed him to the head of the party. Fabius appeared as the heir chosen by Mitterrand. A coalition was created in order to prevent Fabius from being elected First Secretary. It gathered Rocard's supporters and a part of the ''Mitterrandist'' faction led by Jospin, comprising those members with a background in the grassroots of the party and a long history of membership. Their candidate, Pierre Mauroy, another former Prime Minister, defeated Fabius. During the Rennes Congress, Mitterrand wanted impose Fabius as First Secretary. For a second time, he was opposed by a Rocard-Jospin alliance. The Rennes Congress was marked by the violence in the ''Mitterrandist'' group which split between ''Jospiniens'' and ''Fabiusiens'', the later group being those "high fliers" who had joined the party relatively recently. Other minority factions which presented proposals to the Congress were: *Jean-Pierre Chevènement ("Socialism and Republic", formerly CERES) led the eurosceptic left-wing *Julien Dray and Jean-Luc Mélenchon ("Socialist Left") were former trotskyists who criticized the "opening" to center-right politicians *Marie-Noëlle Lienemann advocated an autogestionary project *Jean Poperen ("To gather the Left") wanted to renew the alliance with the Communist Party. ==Results== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rennes Congress」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
