Christiane Taubira’s potential candidacy creates confusion on the left

“We expected clarity from the Taubira candidacy, and ultimately this reinforces the confusion”, analyzes journalist Nathalie Saint-Cricq, present on the 20 Hours set, Friday, December 17. Six candidates are standing in the presidential elections of 2022, “for a poll which gives 25% of the vote on the left side”, reports the journalist.

On the left side, opinions are divided. “Jean-Luc Mélenchon finds that ridiculous, Yannick Jadot, a primary was enough for him, no question of taking a second, Anne Hidalgo is not very readable, she wants a primary but finds that Taubira is too much”, continues Nathalie Saint-Cricq. For his part, Arnaud Montebourg will step aside if the others do, and Fabien Roussel says no. Christiane Taubira will announce her decision in mid-January. “Between the lines, [elle] dreams of a positive explosion in the polls, something that everyone would agree “, analyzes the journalist.
