The mayor of Paris finds it difficult to understand why Ségolène Royal does not support her candidacy and considers Jean-Luc Mélenchon as “ the strongest “.
After Ségolène Royal’s attacks, Anne Hidalgo reacts: “ I don’t understand, I find it very unfortunate “, thunders the mayor of Paris. And to add: There are other ways to be useful to his political family. »
Useful to the PS, Ségolène Royal has indeed not really been. On Wednesday February 16 in the evening on television, the former candidate of the Socialist Party for the 2007 presidential election called for a vote for the rebellious Jean-Luc Mélenchon while advising Anne Hidalgo to ” take his responsibilities ” and ” to stop his campaign “.
“ Your family is here
This Thursday, the current socialist candidate counter-attacks. Anne Hidalgo emphasizes that she at least remains “ faithful to its values », Refusing to endorse the idea that Jean-Luc Mélenchon would be the best placed on the left and that a vote for him would therefore be a useful vote, an argument put forward by Ségolène Royal.
After this weapon pass, Anne Hidalgo, very struggling in the polls, cannot afford to completely close the door to the former socialist candidate: “ Your family is there, your family, they love you, your family, they want you to help them “, insisted the mayor of Paris.
