Christiane Taubira approaches an application in relative indifference of his opponents

The old guard of the seals of François Hollande said Sunday that it will present itself in the presidential election 2022 if it wins, at the end of January, the popular primary. The other candidates of the left still refuse to rally to her.

When the interminable sheet of the left gathering will be, why not, relayed the rank of the bad memories, and that it will be necessary to make the story, it will be difficult to award the palm of the clarity to Christiane Taubira. The more it goes to the formalization of his candidacy for the presidential election, the more his statements are eroding. Rather than being quite explicit, Sunday, January 9, from Bondy (Seine-Saint-Denis) where she moved, she took a holy detour indicating that she “would accept the verdict of the popular primary, (… ) Last chance of a possible union of the left “. One way to imply aloud that it will necessarily be candidate as far as it is the great favorite of this citizen initiative which is a “popular investiture”, whose vote of the 300,000 signatories will take place from 27 to 30 January .

“I invite other left and ecologist candidates to do the same, attempted the former Minister of Justice François Hollande. However, it is a primary whose legitimacy and political relevance are falling from day to day. Christiane Taubira could be the only one to compete with this designation: the ecologist Yannick Jadot, the “unsubmit” Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the Communist Fabien Roussel and the chant of the “Remontada”, Arnaud Montebourg, said no. And rather a hundred times one.

“It’s not my approach”

While Anne Hidalgo, who had called to the union of the left at the end of 2021, took note of the refusal of Mr. Jadot to participate in a primary which becomes, in the eyes of the socialist, mechanically obsolete. Saturday, January 8, after gathering on the grave of François Mitterrand in Jarnac (Charente), the mayor of Paris was even, for the whole, definitive: “I will not participate alone at a primary if one of the political forces [And his candidate Yannick Jadot] refuses to participate, so that’s where it had sense (…) This primary he refuses is a great responsibility he takes. “

Christiane Taubira fixed himself to “January 15 at the latest” the announcement of his decision. By then, she stretches a suspense that is no longer really one. Several months ago, many times asked about his intentions, she categorically refused to take responsibility for adding an additional application on the left. At the end of December, noting a “dead end”, and in the providential political woman, she ended up “considering” to introduce himself. Since the start of the school year, its resolution has no longer a doubt as its campaign team, mainly composed of former ministerial collaborators, prepares the ground by evoking a determination without a beam.
