At this point, the forces involved do not change. The last sponsorship report received by presidential election candidates, Thursday, March 3 at 5 pm, does not change the number of candidates who obtained at least 500 signatures and therefore the possibility of competing to the Elysee. On the other hand, Philippe Poutou (new anticapitalist party), is close to 439 signatures (against 342 at Tuesday’s statement). It remains for him to harvest within a few hours that now separate him from the end of the collection period, Friday to 6 pm. The candidate already satisfies the condition that the received sponsorships come from at least thirty departments.
In a video broadcast earlier in the day, Philippe Poutou expressed his great confidence: “We know already, with the rise of the militant teams, (…) of the forms we have seen and [sponsorship] promises that are very reliable, we will reach the 500s. “
The 500, we have!
So what we repeated since the beginning of the campaign is now assured: we will be there!

They are now eleven candidates to be able to claim the Elysee, subject to the publication of the official list Monday, March 7 by the President of the Constitutional Council, Laurent Fabius. It is, by classifying them in descending order in recipients of sponsorships received, from Valérie Pécresse (the Republicans), Emmanuel Macron (the Republic on March), which should announce his candidacy tonight, Anne Hidalgo (Socialist Party), Jean -Luc Mélenchon (France Insouchaise), Yannick Jadot (Europe Ecology-les Greens), Eric Zemmour (reconquest!), Fabien Roussel (Communist Party), Jean Lassalle (resistons!), Nathalie Arthaud (new anticapitalist), Nicolas Dupont -Aignan (standing France), and Marine Le Pen (national gathering).
On the other hand, Mass seems called for Anse Kazib (Permanent Revolution, 149 Sponsorships), Hélène Thouy (Animalist Party, 124) and Gaspard Koenig (91). As well as for Christiane Taubira (241), who has already said, Wednesday, that she threw the sponge.
“Expired device”
The end of the collection period and the beginning of the official campaign will undoubtedly be relegated to the second plan – at least until the next presidential election – the debate on the current system of sponsorship, judged beyond or even undemocratic by a variety of candidates or their teams. The most acertic criticism came from Christiane Taubira, who did not appreciate seeing himself prevented from comasing when she had been widely chosen by the 390,000 voters of the popular primary, at the end of January.
“This candidature is prevented by an administrative system that will not survive in this campaign, he lives his last hours (…). We do not eliminate [the candidates] by an obsolete administrative process, but by first round “Estame the former candidate. Manuel Bompard, the campaign director of Jean-Luc-Mélenchon (France unsuitable), supported it on this point, saying that a “expired administrative system” prevents his candidacy. Once his 500 sponsorships obtained, Jean-Luc Mélenchon has also offered his own to Mr. Poutou.
The many criticisms against the sponsorship system for the presidential election, established in 1962 to dissuade too fragile applications, had pushed François Bayrou to establish a “sponsorship bank”, with 300 elected, so as to To help candidates in difficulty in the collection of signatures, provided that they exceed the 10% voting intentions in polls. The centrist also gave his own to Marine Le Pen. Philippe Poutou had seen there anything but a solution, regretting that the threshold fixed by Mr. Bayrou only benefits to “big stables”.
