The former communicator of François Hollande, Gaspard Gantzer announced this Thursday to the Parisian and AFP to abandon his independent campaign in Paris and join the new candidate of LREM Agnès Buzyn for the municipal elections in Paris. "It is a difficult decision, even painful," he notes from the Parisian.
"I could not, despite my efforts, create a dynamic"
"I could not, despite my efforts, create momentum," said Gaspard Gantzer to AFP. "A new political deal has opened with the designation of Agnes Buzyn," he continued. Her support is the first to garner the new candidate from La République en Marche, who replaced the former government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux, who fell after a sex scandal.
“If I embarked on this campaign, it is because I have the conviction that a work-study program is needed in Paris. Anne Hidalgo has failed on the question of daily life: there are 12,000 inhabitants who leave the city each year, housing prices have exploded, the streets are dirty and not always safe, it is difficult to get around ... to change mayor of Paris, you have to beat Anne Hidalgo, ”he tells the Parisian. According to an Odoxa poll published on Wednesday, Gaspard Gantzer's list was credited with 1% of voting intentions.
