The former justice minister has let it be known that she does not want to be the "7th or 8th candidate from the left" in an election at stake.


Take part in the campaign, without being yet another candidate.

There you have it, the equation that Christiane Taubira faces for the presidential election of 2022. “The stake is colossal, the left cannot afford to lose this election and I do not want to go kindly to align myself as 7th or 8th candidate from the left, ”said the former minister on France Inter on Thursday.

"Even people who have a lot of enthusiasm are able to be reasonable enough to understand that I cannot come and contribute to the scattering", indicated the one who is in the lead, with François Ruffin, of citizen sponsorships to designate a common candidate on the left for the presidential election, within the framework of the Popular Primary.

She nonetheless welcomed this “beautiful and daring” initiative, “a bet on participatory democracy”.

According to her, the personalities of the left who are already candidates are "all intelligent people", "I know them, I respect them and I esteem them all".

“Things will become clearer” as the campaign progresses, she added.

"I will not stay away, I will not remain an observer, I will campaign, I will find my place one way or another," she assured in any case.

"We can't afford to play"

Unlike 2002 - where Christiane Taubira had been a candidate competing with Lionel Jospin - in 2022 "the stakes are colossal because the company has been worked for the last twenty years by ideas of exclusion, rejection", " by a quiet xenophobia ”.

"We can not afford to play," added the former minister, denouncing in particular the polemicist Eric Zemmour, potential candidate, who according to her takes pleasure in "objurgations".

The end of the sponsorship of the Popular Primary is scheduled for October 11, the date on which the five women and five men preselected by the citizens registered on the secure platform Neovote will be known "to save ecology and social justice in 2022" .

Registered citizens will then vote among these ten candidates, between December 9 and 12, to nominate a potential single candidate from the left forces for the 2022 presidential election.
