75 days before the first round of the presidential election, the candidate of the Socialist Party, Anne Hidalgo, is the guest of the great political interview “8:22 p.m.” from the 8 p.m. newspaper of France 2 and the Twitch platform. She is expected on a large number of questions, in particular on her campaign strategy which is not taking off, her priorities for the purchasing power of the French and on her non-participation in the popular Primary. Anne-Sophie Lapix, Nathalie Saint Cricq and Mohammad Bouhafsi will lead this great interview together. Follow our live.
“8:22 p.m.” is coming to Twitch. Anne Hidalgo will be the first presidential candidate to answer questions from viewers during a live Twitch on behalf of France Télévisions. A live event hosted by Samuel Etienne and Alix Bouilhaguet who will comment live, with viewers, on Anne Hidalgo’s remarks at “8:22 p.m.”. After her passage on France 2, the candidate will join the two journalists and answer questions from Internet users.
A contested popular Primary. Bringing out a single candidacy on the left for the presidential election, such is the objective of the Popular Primary, which will be held from January 27 to 30. But it is far from unanimous since, of the seven candidates on the left, only four have given their agreement for this vote: Christiane Taubira, Pierre Larrouturou, founder of Nouvelle Donne and MEP, and two candidates from civil society, Charlotte Marchandise and Anna Agueb-Porterie. Anne Hidalgo, who refused to participate, said during her last meeting in Aubervilliers that she would not recognize the results and that, whatever happened, she would go through with her campaign.
Worthwhile polls. Between 1 and 4% of voting intentions in the polls, Anne Hidalgo struggles to convince. Faced with many other left-wing candidates, the mayor of Paris fails to create momentum around his project, despite its proposals on the increase in teachers’ salaries, the reduction of VAT on energy or even the right to vote at 16 years old.
