The Movement of the Young Socialists (French: Mouvement des Jeunes Socialistes, abbr. MJS) or simply Jeunes Socialistes is the youth organisation of the French social-democratic Socialist Party.

MJS was founded in 1993 as a formally independent youth organization. However its statutes commit the MJS to be generally supportive to its mother party. After a peak of around 10.000 members after the 2006 youth protests in France[1], MJS currently counts 5321 members (November 2009).[2]

MJS is member of Young European Socialists (ECOSY) and International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY).

Internal organization

In a biannual general assembly called Congrès National, all members of MJS come together to discuss and decide on general positions as well as concrete projects. There, the members also directly elect the president for a two year period and appoint the members of the national office.

Of several political currents within the MJS, a coalition of the centrist "Transformer à Gauche" (Transform to the left) and the marxist "Offensive socialiste" (Socialist Offensive) dominated the 2009 Congress of Grenoble, successfully nominating Laurianne Deniaud for president. A minority movement of "Jeunes Socialistes pour la renovation" (Young socialists for renewal) and "La Relève" (The Uprise) calling for organizational changes including more transparency and grassroots democracy couldn't prevail, neither could the civil libertarian wing.
