According to him, the gatherings of the left behind the environmentalists - as in Hauts-de-France with Karima Delli, or in Île-de-France with Julien Bayou - would even touch

"The reality is that they are the most credible Socialists to lead these rallies,"
said the first secretary of the PS.
"When the Socialists lead them, we create a dynamic and there is a victory behind it

"to make the effort to bring together all of the left and environmentalists"
to constitute a "social and ecological bloc" which will allow, according to him,
