Presidential 2022: Anne Hidalgo “invites” Yannick Jadot to “continue to think” about the idea of ​​a primary – franceinfo

She is holding her second campaign rally. Anne Hidalgo, in difficulty in the polls, will be Sunday, December 12 in Perpignan, a city held by the National Gathering, for “defend the Republic and its values”. In the Sunday newspaper, the PS mayor of Paris believes that a “democratic electroshock” is necessary against the rise of the far right.

Its call for a primary, via the citizens’ movement of the Popular Primary, which has been arguing for a year for a single candidacy on the left, has so far been outraged by its main left-wing competitors, who have refused to participate.

But Anne Hidalgo persists and signs. “If we want to mobilize the voters of the left, we must respond to what they tell us: ‘Unite, otherwise we will not succeed'”, she assures in the columns of the weekly. The candidate environmentalist Yannick Jadot addressed an end of inadmissibility to this proposal, recalling that he had withdrawn with “plume” in 2017 for the benefit of PS candidate Benoît Hamon.

“Yannick Jadot’s reaction is a little too quick, comments Anne Hidalgo in the JDD. It’s more of a staff reaction. I invite him to continue to think about it, especially since he himself had declared that he would register. [à la Primaire populaire] if the number of participants exceeded 300,000 and if I was in favor. The two conditions are therefore met. “ The presidential candidate is convinced: “People’s Primary will be happening and I will be attending.”
