“Are you accusing me of being proud?” : strong tensions between Christiane Taubira and Laurent Delahousse at 8 p.m. on France 2, doubtful Internet users (VIDEO)


This Saturday January 15 in the 20 hours of France 2, tensions appeared between Laurent Delahousse and Christiane Taubira, in particular about the many candidacies on the left.

Many leftist voters are lost. Three months before the presidential election of 2022, the vagueness persists on the left of the political spectrum with a plethora of candidates. First of all, Jean-Luc Mélenchon leads the race in the polls with around 10%, far behind the main candidates on the right. Yannick Jadot, Anne Hidalgo are around 5%, while the Communist Party fluctuates between 1 and 2%. In a twilight atmosphere for the left, a new candidacy emerged adding further confusion. Christiane Taubira has decided to abide by the rules of the popular primary, which is supposed to choose a candidate and create a union of leftists around him. After hesitating to participate, the current mayor of Paris withdrew his candidacy while the leader of France Insoumise and the ecologist Yannick Jadot gave an end of inadmissibility. But no matter, Christiane Taubira decided to go there and this Saturday, January 15, she announced her candidacy for the presidential election from a mining area near Lyon.

The left in the fog

In the evening, the former Keeper of the Seals was the guest of the 20 hours of France 2 in order to say more about his candidacy, which competes directly with Anne Hidalgo. From the start of the interview, Laurent Delahousse tried to clarify the state of the left a few weeks before the presidential election. But very quickly a balance of power settled between the journalist and the former minister of François Hollande. “The French are a bit lost. There is no agreement from Jean-Luc Mélenchon, no agreement from Yannick Jadot but both are registered in the popular primary. It’s a little bit complicated…“, declared Laurent Delahousse before Christiane Taubira cut him off, dropping: “What seems to me the most important is not to explain the mechanisms of the primary because it is not my authority”.

Tensions on set

A little later, new tensions appeared on the set of the 20 hours of France 2. “It’s a primary organized for you, understand that some voters may have questions”, replied the presenter without the left-wing candidate being able to answer. Finally, Laurent Delahousse evoked the original sin, namely pride, provoking the surprise of his interlocutor. Are you accusing me of being proud Mr. Delahousse ? Do you realize this is an election? Citizens are called upon to choose. We can respect them“, she concluded.

Internet users surprised

On social networks, these passes of arms caused a strong reaction. “Disappointing interview from L. Delahousse, he didn’t let C. Taubira speak. He kept pointing his finger at her. What’s his problem with her?”, “Christiane Taubira destabilized by Laurent Delahousse’s offensive questions (for once). Not good. At all.”, “Delahouse’s questions are catastrophic”, can we read in particular.
