Guillaume Lacroix, president of the PRG – Le Center Gauche, was the guest of 8:30 am franceinfo, Wednesday, December 29, 2021. He answered questions from Céline Asselot and Jean-François Achilli.
Christiane Taubira is “above the parties”
Christiane Taubira is “a free woman”, “above parties”, “someone who cannot be tied to any political confinement”, estimated Guillaume Lacroix, while the former Minister of Justice has just published a column in The world in which she calls for the rally of the left. Christianne Taubira “has not been a member of the Radical Left Party since 2007”, specified the president of the PRG, which does not prevent his party from supporting “unanimously” the one who recently said that “she is considering” to stand for the presidential election.
“Primaries are useful”
Regarding a possible candidacy for a union of the left for the April 2022 election, Guillaume Lacroix believes that “the primaries are useful because there is no possibility in this country that a left can govern if it is not in a unit “. He recalled that the PRG has been in favor of it since November 2020: “We were also looked at at the time, explaining to us that we were often quite old-fashioned, that we no longer understood the necessities of the moment. I am delighted to see that we were right too early”.
Covid-19: “Contradictory injunctions, it can drive you crazy”
While regretting that some politicians set themselves up as health experts, Guillaume Lacroix was surprised at the latest measures taken by the government against the Covid-19 epidemic:“I don’t understand why can we drink a coffee sitting in a bistro and why not drink it sitting in a train? I don’t understand why we can wake up on Friday night, but we have to telecommute on Monday. I don’t understand. not why the vaccination pass and not the compulsory vaccination “. Which is “important”, he said it is “the need to give the French understandable explanations because contradictory injunctions can drive you crazy”.
