After a first week of campaign marked by several hiccups and sanctioned by a drop in voting intentions, Christiane Taubira wants to move forward. The candidate made this Wednesday a tour of several cities in the Paris suburbs with the aim of garnering positive waves, but also sponsorships.
From ” thanks », Christiane Taubira distributed a lot of them in the streets of Montreuil, Sevran, Clichy-sous-Bois and Villetaneuse where the reception was indeed rather enthusiastic.
” He’s someone who really cares about minorities and working-class neighborhoods, explains Bouchra, delighted to see the candidate. I am not registered on the electoral lists and suddenly I made an appointment with the town hall when I saw that Christiane Taubira was presenting herself. »
Urban renewal, student precariousness, Christiane Taubira wishes to take the pulse of the needs of the suburbs, but not only. In Villetaneuse, it is a precious document that she came to get from the mayor: “ Madame Taubira, I grant you my patronage exclaims Mayor Dieunor Excellent.
Christiane Taubira, for whom, she repeats, each sponsorship is important because it is ” not a mechanical operation “.
The battle for the necessary 500 signatures
Not obvious indeed, without strong party behind him, to obtain the 500 signatures, which more is in less than one month. But the candidate displays her confidence and the signatory of the day too: “ I think she’s confident because she knows she’ll be able to get them, says the mayor of Villetaneuse. Today, you can see the excitement around his candidacy and it’s only just begun. »
” It’s a battle “, however, concedes a member of the Taubira campaign. If the candidate’s team claims several hundred sponsorship promises, only 36 have so far been filed with the Constitutional Council.
