A "buoy" for Audrey Pulvar

"Frankly, it was unexpected ..." This PS framework still does not come back.

Gérald Darmanin offered the Socialists on a plate the opportunity they lacked to unanimously and publicly support their candidate in the regional elections in Ile-de-France.

Since the start of her campaign, Audrey Pulvar has multiplied the controversies and the outings putting her camp uncomfortable, including the mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo at the origin of her candidacy.

Last March, his words justifying the single-sex UNEF meetings had made many socialist teeth cringe.

Since its campaign patina. Her polls are not taking off (she is at 10% in the latest Ifop survey for the JDD, tied with the LFI candidate Clémentine Autain and one point behind the ecologist Julien Bayou) and internally, the votes are multiplying to regret this choice of candidate. "Today, she can send a bouquet of flowers to Gerald Darmanin," said one of his critics at the PS who, like others, expressed his support to him in the face of the defamation complaint of the Minister of the Interior.

"It allows her to victimize herself at a time when she was on the ropes," said another socialist. "Darmanin sends him a lifeline," confirms former PS MP Philippe Doucet. But on the bottom, Audrey Pulvar remains isolated in her camp. The words which earned him the attack of Darmanin were to denounce a demonstration of support for the police officers where were ... the first secretary of the PS Olivier Faure and Anne Hidalgo. The lifeline could therefore quickly deflate.
