Cédric Villani, an unfortunate candidate at the LREM primary for the municipal elections in Paris, denounces a "flawed" appointment procedure and puts forward his "freedom" in an interview at Paris Match on Wednesday, while specifying that he does not see "an enemy" in Benjamin Griveaux, the nominated candidate.
The MP from Essonne, who will announce at the beginning of September his intentions regarding a candidacy dissenting or not to that of the former spokesman of the government, specifies in this interview that "whatever the continuation of the step, it s' will act to gather and work on the best project ". "I do not consider the official candidate as an adversary or an enemy," he adds.
"We are about to find the way"
"One can say to oneself 'The mathematician respects the rules' But freedom is an important family and personal value", adds Cédric Villani, who denounces again a "procedure of the national commission of investiture (which) was vitiated" . "We feel that something is going to happen, we are about to find the way," he says, without giving more details.
Sunday, in an interview with the JDD , Benjamin Griveaux had hoped "to convince him that his place is in his family," recalling the passage that Cédric Villani "(had) said he would be loyal. At the beginning of July, members of the National Nominating Committee unanimously appointed Benjamin Griveaux LREM candidate for the Paris municipal elections, opposite Hugues Renson and Cédric Villani.
