Five months before the presidential elections, several candidates from the Left decide to seal alliances with political figures from their respective parties, despite past competition and differences.

Within the Socialist Party, Anne Hidalgo can count on the support of François Hollande. Both appeared together in Tulle (Corrèze), the adopted city of the former President of the Republic. If François Hollande has recently been critical of the Left, he is adamant about his support for Anne Hidalgo. “My support is not in doubt, it has never been in doubt. She launches out with a social democratic line which is also mine, it remains for her to convince the French”, declares the former French president.

In Troyes (Dawn), Yannick Jadot shows herself with Sandrine Rousseau. The two environmentalists do not hesitate to expressly show their good understanding. The eliminated candidate is campaigning alongside her former competitor and does not hesitate to take part firmly in the discussions by responding tit for tat to the interlocutors. When a boss present on the spot considers that young people have less professional will, she does not hesitate to point out that “one in two young people is in a very deep depression.
