A member of the Socialist Party since 1994, she entered politics as first deputy to the mayor of Paris Bertrand Delanoë from 2001 to 2014, combining this post with that of regional councilor for Ile-de-France, which she held from 2004. to 2014. The pinnacle of her career came when she took over from Mr. Delanoë as mayor of Paris after winning the municipal elections of 2014, a mandate which she would renew by being re-elected in 2020. Her ambition to to be a candidate for the 2022 presidential election was approached a year ago, when she launched a platform for reflection entitled “Ideas in common”. Finally, it was necessary to wait until September 12, 2021 for her to formalize her participation in the race at the Elysée.

If it were to happen that the candidate Anne Hidalgo does not reach the supreme title, the least we can say is that the Socialists will not be taken aback, given all their prospecting for the post-campaign. presidential election 2022. François Hollande first, who estimated, during the candidate’s meeting in Limoges on March 22, that this election would determine “the very conditions for the recovery” of the government left and who assured that he would take “all his part”. The president of Occitania Carole Delga then, who wishes to invest in the recomposition of the party, as announced during the meeting of the PS candidate in Toulouse on March 26.

The support of François Hollande: a turning point in the presidential campaign of the PS candidate?
On March 22, 2022, the former leader of the left decided to formalize his support for the candidate. It was during Anne Hidalgo’s meeting in Limoges that François Hollande launched: “I am faithful and loyal, especially when it is difficult”. Congratulating the mayor of Paris for her “courage” and her “tenacity”, he assured her of “all his support”, calling above all to “pursue the great movement which is called socialism”. Knowing that the ex-president had until then been little involved in Anne d’Hidalgo’s campaign, this support was eagerly awaited by the latter, who thanked him warmly by paying tribute to his presidency. The support of the former Socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin followed, also belatedly, on March 29th. Will this support influence the votes in favor of the PS? Tonight’s results will tell us.
