Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

My comment was a brief reply to Jérôme's above, where he said he thought she was in favour of the "oui" during the referendum campaign. I was simply confirming that he was right -- Royal did, as a matter of fact, support the "oui".

(I don't know how you set your preferences, but you can have the comments threaded so it's easy to see what is a reply to someone else's comment).

As to the referendum, I think (don't want to force Jérôme's hand on this) that he and I agree that Socialist leaders (essentially Fabius) who campaigned for the "non" were motivated by personal ambition alone, and did a great deal of harm by using demagogy to divide the left. He (again, disclaimer, he's free to set the record straight if I'm wrong) and I are more favourable to PS leaders who were on the "oui" side. Personally, I wouldn't support a "non" candidate like Fabius.

Hope that makes it clearer.
