“Anne Hidalgo and Rachida Dati systematically criticize the action of the government. All the Parisians who think that in the majority there is today an action to protect our economy and the vulnerable people must be mobilized for the lists of Agnès Buzyn ", affirmed Tuesday during a press point his spokesperson Pierre-Yves Bournazel.

"Working in good intelligence with the State"

Agnès Buzyn came third in the first round with 17.3%, far behind Anne Hidalgo (PS, 29.3%) and Rachida Dati (LR, 22.7%). But the LREM list had collected 33% of the votes in the Europeans in the capital. The candidate had unveiled in the JDD a recovery plan of 400 million euros including 170 for a solidarity fund entrusted to the mayors of boroughs.

It also provides a guarantee fund on the payment of rents "to allow Parisians victims of the crisis to stay in their homes," added Pierre-Yves Bournazel.

The next mayor "will have to work in good understanding with the State, the region, neighboring cities, the associative world ... it is very important to have this culture", said Pierre-Yves Bournazel, stressing that Agnès Buzyn was "a woman of general interest", where Anne Hidalgo "succeeded in her mandate to get angry with the government of François Hollande, that of Emmanuel Macron and many mayors ..."

700,000 targeted mails

Before the second round on June 28, his team plans to send 700,000 targeted letters to reach "one in two homes". In the 14th thus "all the households will receive a mail of 8 pages", one specified in its entourage. On the eve of the debate with her two rivals, Agnès Buzyn also intends to mark her "difference" with Rachida Dati in terms of "values", especially after the support provided "in a personal capacity" by Marine le Pen.

"The voters of center-right and right are not at all comfortable" with that, underlines one in his team. Sunday, Agnès Buzyn had affirmed that Rachida Dati "succeeded in reconciling on his program Jean-Marie Le Pen and Marine Le Pen".

"Mrs. Agnès Buzyn your comments are dishonorable, like your desertion," replied Rachida Dati in a tweet accompanied by a photo of her with Simone Veil.
