A suspended candidate. Christiane Taubira asks the mayors of France to sponsor her, on behalf of the “democratic debate”which would otherwise be “cut off from the word of a stateswoman, free of parties”. The candidate on the left has for the moment only 73 sponsorships out of 500 necessary.
“As you know, collecting 500 signatures is, more than ever, difficult for many candidates”writes the candidate in a letter, Wednesday, February 16. “I solemnly appeal to you: if, as you know, your sponsorship does not necessarily constitute support for my project, it remains essential to my candidacy. You hold the key to the democratic debate for the presidential election”she pleads.
“My candidacy, however acquired after a vote [de la primaire populaire] having mobilized 400,000 people, risks being hampered by political maneuvers or intimidation”she says again.
Tuesday evening, she again accused the Socialist Party of being maneuvering. “There always comes a time when […] the boss of the Socialist Party whistles the end of the freedom of the Radical Party” on the left, who announced her “withdrawal” from her campaign on Monday, she said on LCI. PS boss Olivier Faure immediately denied on Twitter: “The boss of the Socialist Party is not whistling anyone. Everyone is free to make their commitments. No false lawsuits between us”.
