François Hollande and Bernard Cazeneuve visiting Corrèze to oppose Nupes
If he is not a candidate in the legislative elections, François Hollande is still trying to exist in this campaign. The former socialist president and his prime minister Bernard Cazeneuve went to Donzenac (Corrèze) on Monday to participate in a public meeting to support Annick Taysse (ex-PS), the dissident candidate in this constituency. In this first constituency of Corrèze, where François Hollande was a deputy for twenty years (from 1988 to 1993 and from 1997 to 2012), the New Popular, Ecological and Social Union (Nupes) presents an LFI candidate, Sandrine Deveaud.
In front of the press, Mr. Holland, opposing this agreement on the left, notably attacked the Nupes program. “Let’s imagine that there is a Nupes majority, this program, given the importance of the expenses it provides for, given the promises it makes, would clash with reality, and would be unable to be executed”, he said in particular. “All measures [de la Nupes] may separately be defended, but (…) added together, put end to end, lead to an impossibility.insisted Mr. Holland.
In front of about sixty activists present Monday evening, the former president boasted “pluralism” and ” credibility “ of the “left of government”. “During all these years when I was elected deputy, there were always several candidates on the left”he recalled, believing that “it is always the left of responsibility that allows the whole left to win”. Before warning:
“If we stay in the forms we know, an extreme right, a radical left and a central bloc, we will have the repetition of what we had during the last presidential elections, and which the French accept less and less: vote against rather than vote for, with no prospect of gaining power. »
