Christiane Taubira has taken up the pen to say all the good she thinks of Anne Hidalgo's assistant who has embarked on the battle for regional in Ile-de-France: “ 

Audrey Pulvar

has a taste for things well done and that of useful and just things.

Whatever it takes as effort and leads to hassle

 ”.

This message appears on a campaign leaflet next to a photo where the former Minister of Justice and the mayor of Paris frame the candidate.

It is quite a symbol, and a support appreciated by Audrey Pulvar who is delighted about it on Twitter.

Thank you dear @ChTaubira for this message of support, which honors and obliges me.

🙏🏽❤️ But ... message to my ex-sisters and brothers: this is not a "postcard" from a future presidential candidate.
