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.
