Sandrine Rousseau in Elysée’s career? This Monday, May 26, the MP does not close at the door and indicates “reflect” to request a possible primary to the left. “If there is a primary one, I think I will think about it,” he said among our LCP colleagues.

This primary Sandrine Rousseau wants it “as open as possible” with “several applications.” “I do not want it to be, not a balance of power or a conclave, but an open democratic debate that also interests the subjects to the left,” he explains.

A duel between Rousseau and Tondelier, “why not”

“I want us to chat at the bottom. I will accept that it is not necessarily my program and nothing that my program if the primary decided,” he advances.

Asked about the possibility of confronting Tondelier Marine, Re -Elect in the head of environmentalists in the first round Last April, Sandrine Rousseau showed no reluctance, responding “why not.”

Marine Tondelier, she has already announced that was in favor of a “unique leftist” when the first secretary of the Olivier Faure Socialist Party He said “favorable” a primary one to the left. And I already explained what you want “A joint candidacy that brings together the left and the environmentalists, from François Ruffin to Raphaël Glucksmann,”Without Jean-Luc Mélenchon, therefore.

The idea of ​​a primary one to the left was also mentioned on May 20 by François Ruffin, who would go from Poutou to Ruffin. “

“We need a primary, a ‘geyser primary’, which is not only an exit choice, but a moment of overflow,” explains the deputy who broke with LFI during the last legislative elections.

On the contrary, social democrat Raphaël Glucksmann said that “he will not participate” in a primary left, warning that “there will be no joint candidacy with Jean-Luc Mélenchon”, with whom he assumes his “frontal contradiction.”

Precisely, the leader of the rebel of France promised last December that “it will be a rebel candidacy” in the next presidential elections, without specifying if he will take it. If it has always increased from the candidacy (11.10% in 2012, 19.58% in 2017 and 21.95% in 2022), it never managed to qualify for the second round.
