Gaspard Gantzer, candidate for mayor of Paris, Wednesday excluded any alliance before the first round of municipal elections, returning back to back LREM with his "fratricidal duel" and the current leader, Anne Hidalgo, which he describes the record of " ball. "
"We will not be allying with anyone before the first round," said on the Radio Classique the former advisor communication François Hollande, while Cédric Villani must specify Wednesday whether or not he presents a dissenting candidacy to within LREM.
At the end of August, Gaspar Gantzer's new ally, Isabelle Saporta, had expressed the wish to "govern" Paris with David Belliard, head of Europe's Greens-Ecology list.
"In the second round, we will see," added the independent candidate under the label "Parisiennes, Parisiens".
"On one side there is Anne Hidalgo, who has a record that is a ball, and on the other side there is The Republic on the move, where there is a fratricidal duel" between the nominee Benjamin Griveaux and Cédric Villani, about to announce his candidacy, he said.
"We had the right to season 1 in July with + Griveaux won the first round. + Now, Villani wants to take revenge, and the President of the Republic is obviously in agreement with the idea that there is a return match, so now they will fight with polls interposed, meetings interposed, "added Mr. Gantzer.
The candidate of "Parisiennes, Parisiens", recognized that "the people with whom, ideologically, at this stage, we are close, it is the ecologists". "But today, they run the city with Anne Hidalgo, they are accountable for his record."
Mr Gantzer again criticized the outgoing mayor. "If I were in his place, I would first apologize and then I would withdraw," he said, after speaking Sunday "a power of the mayor of Paris" and reminded that Anne Hidalgo had been the first assistant of the Socialist Bertrand Delanoë since 2001, before succeeding him in the chair of mayor in 2014.
