REPORTAGE
The municipal campaign begins on the run for the slinger of Paris. Cédric Villani, who announced Wednesday his candidacy for the municipal on the sidelines of the investiture of The Republic in motion, decided to travel around the city for 24 hours non-stop. Friday, he found his teams at 5 am in a café in the 14th arrondissement to launch his great stroll, from the left bank to the right bank, through the station Saint-Lazare, a boarding school or a coworking space .
At the meeting of France who gets up early, the mathematician began by rubbing shoulders with France who goes to bed late, like this group of young people, still seated in front of pints, only Parisians crossed at 5am . "The first quality of a political personality is listening.It is my concept.We will meet, listen a lot.People will tell us their grumble, others of their support, we will meet all-out, "explains the candidate.
"I hope you win the city of Paris!"
In the subway, Cédric Villani crosses whistling corridors almost deserted. Like Emmanuel Macron, he assures that he does not need many hours of sleep. At the Saint-Lazare station, he talks with SNCF technicians and takes notes in his notebook. Cédric Villani explains to want to discuss with "experts of the daily newspaper". Shortly before nine o'clock, passers-by finally end up calling him: "I took your picture, and I hope you'll win the city of Paris!"
Benjamin Griveaux, the candidate officially invested by LREM in Paris, may hope that Cédric Villani eventually rally him, the person remains categorical: "I'm leaving to go to the end!" But before crossing the steps of City Hall, he will have to hold until 5 o'clock in the morning to complete his 24-hour marathon.
