The dinosaurs of the PS (they used to be called elephants, in their glory days; but they are the people who turned the party of Jean Jaurès into a neo-liberal vehicule, resulting in a drastic downsizing) are very cross indeed with Olivier Faure, for negotiating with Mélenchon from the position of weakness they put him in.

A revolt of the remaining PS regional structures is quite likely, with dissident PS candidates running against official left-front candidates.
