Isabelle Saporta, journalist, first politically engaged alongside Gaspard Gantzer, joined Cédric Villani - RUET / AGENCE1827 / SIPA

The journalist Isabelle Saporta, who recently left the campaign of candidate Gaspard Gantzer and who is the companion of the green MEP Yannick Jadot, gave his support to Cédric Villani who has just cut ties with Emmanuel Macron. By opposing an end of inadmissibility to the President of the Republic who asked him to "get closer to Benjamin Griveaux", LREM candidate for mayor of Paris, Cédric Villani has declared a divorce with La République en Marche, notes AFP. Isabelle Saporta thus joins "a free man".

"I want to be free"

"I will be with him for sure," she confirms to Le Figaro , since he has asked me with such enthusiasm for so long! And since he broke up with La République en Marche. I want to be free of my movements, of my speech, with a free man. To grow up politically without ever being brought back to my marital status, ”she adds.

According to Franceinfo , Isabelle Saporta will be able to continue to actively work on a rapprochement between the dissident of En Marche and the environmental candidate, David Belliard, to build this "climate coalition" that the green candidate also wants.

The boss of LREM, Stanislas Guerini, announced Monday that he would ask the executive office of the presidential party "to act on the fact that Cédric Villani is no longer a member of the running Republic" after the mathematician's decision to maintain his candidacy at the municipal meetings in Paris. Cédric Villani “does not turn your back on the President of the Republic. It's like love stories: from time to time, there can be differences of point of view, ”relativizes the mathematician's campaign director, Baptiste Fournier, to AFP.
