“We do not have the right to allow five more years”
: in Bordeaux on the evening of Thursday January 27, for her first public meeting, Christiane Taubira cut the five-year Macron period and called to
“fight”
.
In front of more than 600 people, most of them very young and singing
"There's sun and Taubira, darla dirla dada"
, the candidate, who started the presidential race two weeks ago, drew up a
“disastrous and devastating”
inventory
of the quinquennium.
If
it "was not always negative"
,
"it hurt us in essential things"
, she said, detailing a
"list of major failures"
: housing, education, climate or health.

Regarding the nursing staff,
“we remember the haughty contempt, (…), the official praise and the abandonment immediately after of these staff”
, claimed Christiane Taubira, dressed in a red jacket.
It
is "to pay for words and not to guarantee those who take care of us decent living conditions"
, she denounced.
“We will make amends by apologizing”
because
“we should have been able to make public policy decisions different”
.
In terms of education, she castigated
"the mistreatment of teachers, the contempt reserved for parents, the risk taken for our children"
, pointing to an
"ideological and doctrinal vision"
of national education.
"The democratic failure is heavy
," she also denounced, taking as an example the citizens' convention on the climate, the recommendations of which have been little taken into account.

Regarding the popular primary, she said she accepted
"the risk"
.
Because, according to her,
“democracy is the risk of uncertainty, unpredictability, discontent, but it is the risk taken together”
, she continued.
"If this process is so decried, it is because it is scary."
Promising to
"stop valuing haughty verticality"
, Christiane Taubira said she wanted to
"be the candidate of women and men who like to fight, who want to fight, of those who are told that they are nothing, of those who struggle to afford a suit, of those who cross the street and find nothing
.
"Obviously we are disturbing, in the face of violence, injustice, intolerance
," she continued.
“We say we are going to trouble.
Let’s trouble together”
, she concluded, quoting the poet René Char.
