Less than three months into the first round of the presidential election, the popular primary does not seem to have clarified things on the left. The 460,000 registered voters designated Christiane Taubira on Sunday evening. She won a good + mention, according to the selection criteria defined by the organizers of this primary.
An expected victory. Former Minister of Justice Christiane Taubira won the popular primary on Sunday evening. 460,000 registered voters voted. The ex-minister immediately launched a rally call for other left-wing presidential candidates. Obviously, it’s a waste of time for the moment.
Calls all morning
Indeed, the former Keeper of the Seals failed to convince Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Yannick Jadot or Anne Hidalgo to join her. According to information from the political service of Europe 1, Christiane Taubira has already called some of them this morning, but it ended in a categorical no.
In fact, she anticipates the next blow. His goal in the coming weeks is to distance Anne Hidalgo in the voting intentions. She knows it, the mayor of Paris is very weakened at the moment. It collapses in the polls. His defeat last night is heavy and the division is growing in the Socialist Party.
François Hollande as a referee?
This duel between Anne Hidalgo and Christiane Taubira is likely to be settled in mid-February, when François Hollande must decide. The former president, who has so far supported Anne Hidalgo lip service, does not want to leave his political family in this state. Internally, everyone is waiting to know that he will genuinely support.
