Turnaround. Former RTL journalist Isabelle Saporta no longer supports the candidate on the Parisiennes list, Parisiens Gaspard Gantzer. She called on Wednesday to create a “climate coalition” with contours similar to those mentioned by the ecologist David Belliard and the dissident LREM Cédric Villani. Gaspard Gantzer reports that she had left her campaign team for the municipal elections in Paris.
"I work for a climate coalition to see the light of day with all people of good will, so that ecology is at the center," said Isabelle Saporta, to AFP confirming comments made to the Parisian . She cited David Belliard, Cédric Villani, the "socialists", Gaspard Gantzer and even Danielle Simonnet as potential members of this coalition.
"She wants to join EELV"
However, she denied reports from Le Monde that she had already planned to join EELV to head the list in the 14th arrondissement, stating, however, that she would go to a meeting with environmental activists.
Asked by AFP, the founder of Parisiennes, Parisiens Gaspard Gantzer said that Isabelle Saporta had indeed left her campaign team, "because she wants to join EELV". "The convocation of EELV on Saturday is very explicit, with an agenda where it is written that it must be invested as an opening candidate," he added.
David Belliard's team confirmed the meeting with AFP. "The ambition of David Belliard's campaign is to rally around environmentalists, and Isabelle Saporta is undeniably part of the family of political ecology", one slipped in his entourage.
"You have to go beyond your personal ambitions"
"You have to go beyond your personal ambitions, there is no time to lose," said the former RTL columnist, when asked about Gaspard Gantzer, for whom voting intentions are not taking off. "When David Belliard took this step" to propose a climate coalition in Paris, "a courageous step", "this is what I dreamed of, and therefore I will put all my strength" into making the alliance happen, said Isabelle Saporta, without saying whether it would concern the 1st or the second round.
