The former President of the Republic refuses the idea of ​​setting up a competition on the left to nominate a common candidate.


It's no.

For François Hollande, the possibility of presenting a candidate for a union in the presidential election "

only makes sense if there is a common project and if all the candidates who withdraw for the personality who could bring them together share the same proposals, the same conceptions.

"

We know that this is not the case,

" lamented the former President of the Republic on BFMTV.

A very low “left total”

Anne Hidalgo's appeal comes when only a few days ago, the candidate refused to participate in the “popular primary”. Initiative launched by a collective of citizens to have only one candidate on the starting line on the left. The candidate did not wish, if she was not nominated, to vote for Yannick Jadot or Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

In the latest Elabe study for BFMTV, the left would only have 22% of the vote.

A historically low score.

In detail, the leader of France Insoumise Jean-Luc Mélenchon would obtain 8% of vote intentions, the candidate of EELV Yannick Jadot 7% ​​and Anne Hidalgo 2%.

As for Arnaud Montebourg and PCF contender Fabien Roussel, they would be positioned respectively at 2 and 1%.

A fracturing of the landscape of the left which would prevent any chance of reaching the second round of the presidential election.
