Winner of the Popular Primary, Christiane Taubira is added to the list of left-wing candidates. If on the side of Yannick Jadot and Jean-Luc Mélenchon there is no question of uniting, the 5th place of Anne Hidalgo in this primary could change the situation.
After the victory of Christiane Taubira in the Primary Popular of the left, what should we now expect? On the 11 p.m. set of franceinfo, political journalist Jean-Christophe Galeazzi takes stock of the situation. “We have been announcing a Taubira-Mélenchon match for several days, but Yannick Jadot manages to slip between the two. This primary was supposed to unite the forces of the left but for now it is the status quo”, he explains. Withdrawals and a rallying of Yannick Jadot and Jean-Luc Mélenchon to Christiane Taubira are not to be expected, according to him.
For Anne Hidalgo, who arrived 5th in this Popular Primary, the situation could be different. “Even if she did not recognize this primary, she finished behind MEP Pierre Larrouturou, much less known to the general public than her. Another blow for the socialist candidate who never saw her campaign take off. A rallying to Christiane Taubira could appear as an honorable exit, but this requires the approval of the Socialist Party”, concludes Jean-Christophe Galeazzi.
