The former government spokesman will not however be at the top of the list. "I will be a candidate on the list. My position will be confirmed by the investiture committee in the coming days. Furthermore, I remain in government with the full and complete agreement of the President and the Prime Minister, ”she said.
"With regard to Cédric Villani (dissident candidate and head of the list in the 14th), my statement obviously has a meaning", continues Marlène Schiappa: "I am a member of the government, I have spoken at length with the Prime Minister and the President who both encouraged me to be a candidate. I say this to silence certain rumors saying that the Elysée would secretly support Cédric Villani: it is false ”.
For the Secretary of State, who was born in Paris and grew up in the 14th arrondissement, "to vote for Cédric Villani is to give him a blank check, because we do not even know at the moment whether he will support Benjamin Griveaux, Anne Hidalgo or another candidate in the second round ”.
