In March 2006, he is the only outgoing deputy to see his reserved district woman. This district - already “reserved woman” with the preceding poll - had been recovered all the same by Mr. Charzat. It then decides to be devoted to its single mandate, that of Mayor, in exchange of the promise - granted - of François Holland whom are respected the statutes of the Party, which want that the socialist candidates are designated by the militants.

Michel Charzat arrives in third position at the first turn, behind the candidates of the PS and UMP. He withdraws and gives his support for George Pau-Langevin, the socialist candidate.

Biography

Born in Paris. Economist and academic. Graduate of the Institute of Political Studies of Paris in public law, doctor of sociology. Adhere to the PS since 1968, Michel Charzat quickly becomes one of the theorists of CERES (Socialist Education and Research, Studies Center). Entered at the management committee of the PS in 1973, at the executive office in 1975 and the national secretariat in 1979, he is assistant editor of the presidential campaign of François Mitterrand in 1981. He is elected appointed the same year; he will be rapporteur of the special subcommittee in charge of the nationalizations. In 1991 the Congress of the Arch takes place (of Defense). The congress is entirely devoted to the Socialist project. It aimed to erase divisions born of the congress of Rennes by gathering the militants around an ideological updating which takes account of the experiment of the capacity, the changes of the French company, the upheavals of the world after the collapse of the Communism and the war of the gulf. The step suggested by the rapporteur, Michel Charzat, is original and profitable. After having auditioned of tens of intellectuals, journalists, artists, actors of the " company civile" … a consultation associating militant and sympathizers lead to a text which is voted with the quasi-unanimity. A right of option allows a very open debate whereas alternative amendments give the opportunity to an opposition to amount (Jean-Pierre Chevènement: 11%, Julien Dray and Marie-Noëlle Lienemann: 6%). In the weeks which follow, Pierre Mauroy estimating his mission accomplished after the success of the congress of the Arch, decides to leave the direction of the party. He proposes, at the management committee, Laurent Fabius at the post of first secretary.
