Same edge
A great day ? At this point, let’s at least say it was a beautiful day. Saturday April 17, under a spring sun, twenty figures of the left and ecology gathered in the 19e arrondissement of Paris, on the banks of the Canal de l’Ourcq. On the agenda, a lot of bowing, a few shots on the comet, sketches of differences, two heady questions (“where is Jean-Luc?”, “Has anyone seen Jean-Luc?”) And this family photo taken to the detriment of the principles of physical distancing and, incidentally, of elegance.
Ungrateful knotting
Where to start ? Hey, by Anne Hidalgo, who had perhaps planned to scarf with her comrades … The temperature was mild, the socialist mayor of Paris wore a bluish scarf, visibly cut in a light fabric. But specialists will notice above all that it was tied with a simple knot, even a totally simple knot, which the Anglo-Saxons generally call “Parisian knot”… There is no coincidence in politics.
Poncho in front
In this regard, or not, we will let everyone judge the elegance of the white poncho edged with fur worn by Corinne Lepage, co-president of Cap Écologie. We will content ourselves with recalling here that the term “poncho” is the subject of a terrible and persistent struggle between etymologists, some seeing it as a derivative of the word. punchu, others of the word pontro… However, the likelihood that the two camps will agree before the left agrees on a presidential candidate seems far from zero.
Chino limit
Benoît Hamon wore chinos as unsuccessful as a presidential candidacy ending with 6.36% of the vote … In this case, the founder of Génération.s had made the classic mistake of opting for a slim fit, hugging the thighs and tightening the ankles. Inevitably, his chinos were therefore crumpled all over and even corkscrews at the knees. Which forces us to say it again clearly: chino, invented in the 19th century.e century by the English army for its soldiers based in India, is wearing loose or not at all.
Conscience parka
Since we are here, also note that Benoît Hamon had chosen to accompany his chinos with a pair of ethical trainers from the Veja brand. Exactly the same model as the pair worn by the deputy Matthieu Orphelin (ex-LRM), placed just behind Anne Hidalgo. In the same genre, we will observe that the ecologist Yannick Jadot, instigator of the meeting, and the PS deputy Guillaume Garot wore precisely an identical parka of the K-Way brand, one in black, the other in blue. The meeting of the left is already that.
