Barely declared, already criticized. Anne Hidalgo, the socialist candidate, disapproves of the candidacy of Christiane Taubira in an interview with Sunday newspaper (subscribers article) dated January 16. If the popular primary “results in an additional candidacy, it was neither the aim of the game, nor the need of the left”, judges the mayor of Paris. And to decide: “Rather than uniting, Christiane Taubira’s candidacy will further separate, divide and create confusion.”
Anne Hidalgo assures him: “I have a lot of respect for her”, before questioning: “But why is she a candidate, she who in December said she did not want to be another candidate?” “The providential men and women, I do not believe it !, continues the chosen one. Except in exceptional circumstances, such as de Gaulle on June 17, 1940. But in today’s world that doesn’t exist.”
