Anne Hidalgo judges that the left can “do justice” to the French; at a meeting in Toulouse

“The time has come to do you justice.” Anne Hidalgo defended Saturday March 26 during a meeting in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) her program around education, health, purchasing power and pensions. The socialist candidate affirmed that “the left had changed the lives of the French” and that she “could do it again”.

Two weeks before the first round, the socialist candidate, who is capping around 2% in voting intentions, once again did not hold back her pikes against outgoing candidate Emmanuel Macron, whose program she described as“unfair” and D’“irresponsible”. She also targeted the rebellious Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the first of the left-wing candidates, but whom she considers a “dead end”.

On the grounds of Jean Jaurès, whom she quoted extensively, Anne Hidalgo defended in front of the 2,200 people present “the republican, secular left, the left of real social and ecological reforms, the left of real change“, that “who has learned from his mistakes and even from his faults, and will have to continue to do so” and “which will have to become again the popular and inventive left that it should never have ceased to be”.
