A new candidate on the left and a lot of frying on the line. On France info, Christiane Taubira denounced on Monday the “lack of respect” of her competitors who reject the verdict of the popular primary.
Christiane Taubira, who arrived Sunday at the head of the popular Primary, denounced Monday the “lack of respect” of her competitors on the left who refuse to recognize the result of this consultation. “If this primary had been tailor-made for me, I would have scored 99%”, she underlined on franceinfo, judging this comment “extremely disrespectful towards the people who carried out this primary and the people who chose to participate.
While the rebellious Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the ecologist Yannick Jadot and the socialist Anne Hidalgo all declined Ms. Taubira’s proposal for union, the latter regretted “this reaction, this height, this distance. Contempt is perhaps -to be too strong a word, but this haughty way of keeping a democratic process at a distance”.
“It looks like this form of government, this presidential form that we have had in front of us for five years,” she added, in reference to Emmanuel Macron.
The popular Primary “is a citizen will to unite”, she defended. “Democracy is not a feeling it is facts, almost half a million people have decided to intervene in the campaign.”

Asked if she was one more candidate on the left, she got angry: “No sir. I am one more candidate for those who consider that a democratic process is worth nothing at all, that a half a million people who sign up and vote it’s worth nothing”.
But “the question is not to know if I get along well with the other candidates and candidates, if we are happy to drink a hot chocolate together. The question is to answer the problem of the purchasing power of million French people, to ensure that they have public services throughout the territory, to support teaching professions and care professions, etc…”, she hammered.
