La Force du 13 (transl. The Force of 13, abbreviated as LFD13) is a French political party active in the French department of Bouches-du-Rhône, founded on November 13, 2014 by Jean-Noël Guérini.

History[edit]

Indicted on September 2011 for in particular "criminal association" and accused of patronage,[1] Jean-Noël Guérini, senator and former president of the departmental council of Bouches-du-Rhône, was the subject of a procedure of exclusion from the Socialist Party in January 2014 because of his support for Lisette Narducci, candidate of the PRG during the municipal elections of Marseille.[2][3]

Jean-Noël Guérini, however, chose to leave the Socialist Party before the exclusion procedure was examined[4] and was the head of the list Faire gagner les Bouches-du-Rhône during the senatorial elections of September 2014 which came second with 30% of the votes.[5][6]

On November 4, 2014, in anticipation of the next departmental elections, 22 socialist general councilors announced that they want to run as part of an alliance " PS - Left Front - Force du 13 - PRG"[7] despite the appeal of the first secretary of the Socialist Party Jean-Christophe Cambadélis not to join forces with the “Force du 13”.[8]

On November 13, 2014, Jean-Noël Guérini transformed "Force du 13" movement into a political party during a meeting.[9]

Criticism[edit]

During the launch meeting of the party, Jean-Noël Guérini declared “Force du 13” as “A party of citizens for citizens, neither on the Left, nor on the Right nor in the Center”.[10][11] He criticized the policies of the Socialist Party at the national level, saying that President of the Republic François Hollande navigated “on sight between denials and aborted reforms”,[12] but also locally by criticizing the policy of the Regional Council chaired by Michel Vauzelle towards municipalities that did not build enough social housing.[13]

The criticism of the future metropolis of Aix-Marseille-Provence was one of the main arguments of the new party, about which Jean-Noël Guérini said to have had “less democracy, less proximity and more taxes”.[14]

Socialist deputy Patrick Mennucci criticized Force du 13, saying "it is in localism, egoism and confusion of minds”.[15][13]
