Agnès Buzyn: "I'm not beating, I'm convincing! "

Agnès Buzyn is in the starting blocks. With only four weeks to rally the Parisians to his candidacy, the former Minister of Health launches headlong into battle.

For this first interview as a candidate, the new LREM champion slips into the skin of a potential future mayor of Paris. "I am not afraid of anything" and "I am totally on schedule". Really?

"We know that municipal campaigns are short," she says. Broken in political communication since her passage at the Ministry of Health, Agnès Buzyn, affirms that she always dreamed of this municipal mandate, that she "decided Sunday" to take action, after having first refused. "On the desire to go there it was obvious, Emmanuel Macron proposed it to me on Saturday and he did not need to insist much," said the doctor, who left his ministry in the middle of a coronavirus crisis.

"Soldier Buzyn was catapulted into the Vietnam War with a knife and a shoulder bag," said political communications expert Philippe Moreau Chevrolet. “What we ask him is an Olympic record to beat in four short weeks. He must bring together LREM voters, win back votes in Villani, embody a new political offer focused on proximity and win an election in a city that has a complicated relationship with Macron… You have to be extraordinarily gifted to succeed in this challenge, ”announces the one who has often wondered about the meaning of sacrifice in politics.
