La candidate “envisaged“in the presidential election Christiane Taubira announced on Sunday that she would submit to the result of the Popular Primary, a citizens’ initiative scheduled for January 27 to 30, which she will accept”The verdict“.
“I accept the risk of democracy. I will accept the People’s Primary verdict“, “last chance of a possible union of the left“, declared the former minister of François Hollande from a market in Seine-Saint-Denis.
After having considered a primary in which the candidates engage, the collective of the Popular Primary has changed course in the face of the refusal of several candidates, by providing for a “popular nomination“, a vote of its several hundred thousand subscribers on the internet.
“It is the most beautiful of legitimacy“, said Christiane Taubira, a prestigious figure among some voters, but including entering the arena in December has yet to garner a breakthrough in the polls.
“I invite other leftist and environmental candidates to do the same“, that is to say accept the”verdict“, did she say.
“There is nothing to fear from the People’s Primary voters, who love all righteousness“, she added, insisting:”So we have to accept this risk, for my part I accept it“.
Socialist candidate Anne Hidalgo admitted the failure on Saturday “for the moment“of his proposal for a primary in the absence of the commitment of the other candidates, the rebellious Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the ecologist Yannick Jadot, the cantor of the”Comeback“Arnaud Montebourg and the Communist Fabien Roussel.
The left is fragmented into five main candidates, and none of them are able to compete in the polls with the rights and Emmanuel Macron.
