The former Minister of Justice confirmed on Sunday January 9 that she would accept the verdict of the popular inauguration of the 300,000 Internet users who will decide between January 27 and 30 among the left-wing candidates. In case of victory, she will run in the first round of the presidential election.
The leading figure of the French left Christiane Taubira, who had suspended her presidential candidacy on the condition that she unite on the left, announced this Sunday, January 9 “That she would submit to the result of the People’s Primary at the end of January”, report The weather.
“The citizens’ initiative is piloting a popular ‘investiture’, namely a vote of its more than 300,000 signatories from January 27 to 30 to nominate their election candidate”, recalls the Swiss daily.
From Bondy, in the Paris suburbs, François Hollande’s former Minister of Justice called on other left-wing candidates to “Do the same”, this popular primary being according to her the “Last chance for a possible union of the left”.
The persistent refusal of Yannick Jadot
The day before, the socialist candidate Anne Hidalgo had taken note of the “Refusal in the face of his proposal for a more classic primary, with a ‘fair debate, a fair vote’”, pointing in particular that of the ecologist Yannick Jadot.
On December 17, Christiane Taubira shook the French campaign on the left, scattered between multiple candidacies, by announcing on social networks that she was considering running for the election.
The Geneva daily notes another “Significant movement” this Sunday in the French presidential race, on the far right side. The former number 2 of the Republicans (LR) Guillaume Peltier announced his rallying “To the far-right presidential candidate Eric Zemmour”. He said he was afraid that the candidate LR Valérie Pécresse does not rally the French president, believing that “Valérie Pécresse and Emmanuel Macron, it’s the same thing”.
