Le centre à la recherche de sa culture politique

The Center's search for its political culture, Serge Berstein. The French Center has neither a uniform doctrine nor group cohesion, even if its practices may be original and its behavior meaningful. What is then left besides its gripping ambition not to disappear, as Pierre Abelin said, caught "between crocodile jaws?" Yet it is the very left-right reptilian which chronically nourishes uneasiness in this political family whose culture is always pulled (e.g. on school issues) between radicalism and Christian democracy.Berstein Serge.
