The waltz of alliances continues in the capital. “To Benjamin Griveaux, to Cédric Villani, I appeal to the public because it is healthy and legitimate to place all our actions under the gaze of our fellow citizens. See you in the coming days. " In a letter, of which 20 Minutes obtained a copy, the deputy Agir de Paris and candidate for the municipal elections of 2020, which created at the beginning of June the group "100% Paris" Pierre-Yves Bournazel offers to the enemy brothers Benjamin Griveaux and Cédric Villani a meet. And why not constitute a three-way alliance for municipal governments in Paris.

“Another route exists: that of dialogue dedicated to the essential. That is to say, the future of our city, the need for expected development and the strength of a vision capable of bringing together ", says Pierre-Yves Bournazel without deciding on the choice of candidate who could represent this trio.

"I don't underestimate personal tensions"

Despite the risk of scattering of votes, Cédric Villani, defeated by Benjamin Griveaux for the LREM nomination, maintained his candidacy and promised to go all the way. A decision reinforced by the recent call of the environmental candidate David Belliard to build, with him, a "coalition for the climate", and the rallying on Sunday of the former nomination contestant on the march and vice-president of the Assembly national, Hugues Renson.

"I do not underestimate either the personal tensions, or even the annoyances that can arise from the intensity of a campaign," notes Pierre-Yves Bournazel, in an allusion to the insulting remarks of Benjamin Griveaux towards his competitors. revealed in July, "but what is at stake exceeds all that". For him, the objective is to beat the outgoing mayor Anne Hidalgo, who is to declare candidate this weekend.
