The ultimate meeting of Anne Hidalgo’s campaign took place on Sunday, April 3, at the Paris Circus of Paris. Girls-Du-Calvary Metro. A denomination that made some socialists smile: those who have no longer believe at all, and for a long time, to the qualification of the Mayor of Paris in the second round of the presidential election. They saw a wink, ironic and supported, destiny with a painful end-to-end campaign.
In the socialist candidate’s team, we have been on the contrary, for a few days, a shudder among the activists who could help Anne Hidalgo to extricate the depths. At his relatives, we also prefer to rent “his capacity for resilience and resilience”, according to the expression of Mathieu Klein, the socialist mayor of Nancy and coordinator of his presidential program, present behind the scenes of the meeting and who found it ” Very serene, determined “. He reacted to the calamic voting intentions that make it illusory a presence of the mayor of Paris in the second round: “She leads the fight to the end. Others, in his place, would have lifted his foot. Not her. C ‘ is a fighter. ”
The winter circus was full of about 2,400 supporters. Socialist heads had made the trip. Like Martine Aubry, the Mayor of Lille, the former head of the Government of Bernard Cazeneuve, or the former Minister of François Hollande Najat Vallaud-Belkacem. The actress-director Valérie Donzelli made a short statement before Anne Hidalgo takes the floor for an hour of muscular speech.
“It’s thanks to her if socialism still exists”
This meeting was both a baroud of honor, a farewell tour and the anticipation of his return to the Town Hall. “Nothing is played as long as the vote did not take place! Together, we can deny these partial and biased polls and their zealous commentators,” launched the mayor of Paris, that some have found, precisely, too Parisian in the first part of his speech. Martine Aubry, she found it “great. It is thanks to her if socialism still exists”.
Anne Hidalgo tried, one last time, to bring back to the Socialist Bercilist the voters on the left attempted by an Emmanuel Macron who “does not even calculate you. (…) You may be saying, why come back to a left , anyway, would pass his turn? (…) because Macron is right! “While warning the use of a vote deemed useful in favor of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, candidate of France unsuitable:” How a candidate Who has theorized the end of the left, then who, in the local elections, fought all the rest of the left, could now represent any hope for the left? “
