Interviewed in her first “campaign displacement” on the debate proposal launched on Friday by the socialist candidate Anne Hidalgo, Christiane Taubira said he wanted “continue to move forward with determination while respecting each and everyone”, mentioning People’s Primary. “I have already said aloud several times how good I feel about this democratic and generational process. Its founders built the credibility of the process. They gave it autonomy.”, she added. For her, “It is precisely up to its founders to specify the rules. It does indeed seem the last space where this union can be built”.
Christiane Taubira is one of the 10 candidates selected by the Popular Primary, from a collective aimed at linking the aspirations of civil society and left-wing parties. The rebellious candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon and that of the ecologists Yannick Jadot refused to participate. The People’s Primary vote is scheduled for January 27-30. Almost 300,000 people have already signed up to participate.
