Presidential 2022: Anne Hidalgo calls for the organization of a primary of the left – franceinfo

An attempt to “to give hope to the people of the left”. Guest of the 8 p.m. newspaper of TF1, Wednesday, December 8, the socialist presidential candidate, Anne Hidalgo, called for the organization of a left-wing primary. “This fractured left, which today despairs our fellow citizens, must come together and come together to govern”, she said.

“The time has come for this gathering”, estimates the mayor of Paris, struggling in the polls for several weeks. “We cannot waste any more time, there is urgency. Urgent need to talk about these subjects that we no longer see in the debate at all: public services, the ecological crisis.”

Anne Hidalgo hopes to see “many” French to participate in this primary, if it were to take place. “I’m not here to say who can participate or not”, she said, but the candidate invites all “the candidates who want to govern together” to come and participate in this ballot. “In order not to make the left disappear, we must strengthen it and organize a primary.”
