The candidate of the Socialist Party, Anne Hidalgo, is holding her first big meeting in the Paris region this Saturday, January 22, in Aubervilliers, in Seine-Saint-Denis (93). The opportunity for her to relaunch her campaign in a known and acquired ground on the left, at the gates of the capital.
The meeting is given at 2 p.m. at the Magasins Généraux, located just next to the Porte d’Aubervilliers, in Aubervilliers (93) in support of the candidate of Anne Hidalgo. About a thousand people are expected at this event organized in a department led by the socialist Stéphane Troussel, whom the mayor of Paris knows well.
The latter should therefore speak to an assembly won over to her cause, despite a campaign that is struggling to take off. This Friday, January 21, in a context where the left is fragmented on all sides, the socialist candidate also said she was “very shocked” by a video broadcast by the organizers of the popular primary.
She explains that this primary aims to block her candidacy, as well as those of Yannick Jadot (EELV) and Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI). “I will disregard [du résultat de ce vote, ndlr]“, she added, while this internal mini-election must be held from January 27 to 30.
Anne Hidalgo also denounced on franceinfo a “political calendar” of the government which “announces automatic relief measures” after having put everyone “in stress” during the vote on the pass in the Assembly at the beginning of January.
But, “good news” she assured: “perhaps, finally, this presidential election will be able to take place in a setting where the health crisis will not hinder the meeting with the French and where the power in place will not will not exploit it to make of it something which puts under the extinguisher the political life”.
