There is no new name in the long list of candidates but a sign of the hand. If phosphorus left to discover if you have to organize a primary to have the opportunity to win the presidential elections, Sandrine Rousseau refuses to officially enter the race, without closing the door.
“I don’t know if I will be a candidate in 2027, but in any case, I will direct the cultural battle because we really need to have words, proposals that are up to the problems,” he judges the environmental member this Friday morning on Sud Radio.
Primary with or without the rebel
Several figures on the left await a unique candidacy in the race for the Elysée as the deputy François Ruffin, a time close to the rebels before sitting among the group of environmentalists in the Assembly. The head of Picardy Standing expects a designation in the form of a primary that allows all the components of the left, including the rebel, participate.
The same bell for Olivier Faure, fragile re-elected at the head of the Socialist Party last week, who asks for only one representative for the socialists and the greens, without Jean-Luc Mélenchon, therefore, among the participants of this internal competition.
At the moment, several figures on the left reject this principle, starting with Rebel France. It should be said that with 21.95% of the votes in the first round in the presidential elections of 2022, Jean-Luc Mélenchon is considered powerful enough to qualify this time in the second round in 2027.
“Tired of small prayers”
What arouses many exchanges at a distance between all the components of the left, in a often sour tone, which awakens the discomfort of Sandrine Rousseau.
“We are in a time of collapse, a moment of collapse of public services, our democracy, biodiversity, oceans” and “so I am fed up with small prayers, it is not up to the task,” makes the ecofeminist.
“Let’s be a candidate everywhere, that’s what people expire,” he still insists.
In his own camp, the president of the environmentalists Marine Tondelier asks “a more open primary”, which is not the option “its preference.
The result of the legislative elections give grain to grind the supporters of the Union in the first round of the presidential elections: United, the left succeeded 151 deputies in 2022or almost double the RN score. As for the legislative emerges last June, The left came out at the top of the surveys.
