“There are a lot of differences between all of us” : the candidate of the French Communist Party Fabien Roussel declined, Thursday, December 9, the proposal to organize a primary of the formulated left by Anne Hidalgo to nominate a single candidate for the presidential election. “This is not the solution. A primary regulates the problem of the person: it is not the person that must be found, it is what we unite on”, did he declare on BFMTV. Follow our live.
The refus by Yannick Jadot. “It is not the choice of environmentalists” : the environmental candidate will not participate in the primary of the left proposed by the mayor of Paris.“There is a desire to break the deadlock with a surprise idea”, criticized the environmental candidate on Thursday morning on Europe 1.
An idea supported by Olivier Faure. “It is not an SOS but a necessary collective awareness”, reacted the first secretary of the Socialist Party on France Inter who is worried to see “a presidential election dominated very largely by the themes of the extreme right”.
The rebels and communists not interested. “Anne Hidalgo cannot offer us the losing machine that the PS inaugurated in 2016”, launched rebellious deputy Eric Coquerel on franceinfo. As for Fabien Roussel, the PCF candidate, “he will go to the end”, decided a member of his campaign on RMC.
Arnaud Montebourg, he is delighted. “I am delighted with this proposal from Anne Hidalgo, things are finally moving”, declared the candidate, who advocates the “remountada of France”. He had called earlier on Wednesday for a rally of the left behind “a common project” and one “common candidate”.
A common program possible? “A union application only makes sense if there is a common program”, reacted the former President of the Republic. This candidacy only makes sense “if all the candidates who withdraw for the personality which could unite them share the same proposals, the same conceptions”.
