The rapprochement is not for now. Agnès Buzyn, who took over from Benjamin Griveaux as head of the LREM list at the municipal elections in Paris, accuses Cédric Villani that she had on the phone Monday to ask for a "balance of power", in an interview with the Parisian . "I extended my hand to him. But he laid down strict conditions: that's not how I work. I am not in the balance of power. And there, he posed a power relationship ... "observed the former Minister of Health, who does not plan to contact him in the coming days. No doubt not to add fuel to the fire, she clarified that there was no "tension" between them: "We appreciate each other, we respect each other".
Tuesday morning, Cédric Villani was delighted on France 2 to have had a "cordial exchange" and "on the merits" with the new candidate LREM for whom he has "respect" and "esteem". The mathematician was excluded from LREM for having maintained his candidacy against Benjamin Griveaux, finally forced to withdraw from the race after the broadcast of intimate videos. Monday, in a press release, the Villani team had set its conditions for a rapprochement with Agnès Buzyn: that in the program there are "major concessions on ecology, democracy, the metropolis: an investment plan of 5 billions for the climate, the enlargement of Paris ”, and“ the drawing of lots ”of certain elected representatives among the population.
“I enjoyed Chirac. I voted for Delanoë »
In the rest of the interview, Agnès Buzyn is careful not to reveal the slightest measure of her future program. "I will present my finalized program at the end of the week," she says. The candidate nevertheless indicates wanting to "appease" and "bring together", considering that the former socialist mayor of the capital Bertrand Delanoë is in this respect his "model". “I enjoyed Chirac. I voted for Delanoë, which is my model of appeasement, of sensitivity. Each in their style, they treated Paris well, "she says.
Claiming to be "and on the right, and on the left", she says that her "trademark is to appease, bring people together and gain buy-in". “My two competitors, Anne Hidalgo and Rachida Dati, each with their own style, are much more confrontational than me. More divisive, "says Agnès Buzyn.
