If she launches into the presidential race, Anne Hidalgo will be able to count on the support of Carole Delga, the best re-elected region president in France last Sunday, winning 58% of the votes in Occitania. The one which, since its triumph, embodies a Socialist Party which still wins is promised a more national destiny by certain relatives or commentators. The Commingeoise 49 years puts the record straight on Thursday in the columns of

Figaro

. She explains that she has a lot of ambition “for the country”, but “no personal ambition”. “Today, my future is Occitanie,” says Carole Delga.

For now, she also supports Anne Hidalgo.

"I will be with other elected officials at the meeting of July 12 that it organizes in Villeurbanne, assures the president of the region.

I am committed to her in a team for France to do ”and“ my score does not change anything ”.

Mélenchon in the viewfinder

Carole Delga, however, considers the debate on the presidential election premature: “the time is not yet for the candidacy of anyone on the left.

We are in the project.

"

The chosen one does not insult the future either.

She slips having "never dreamed of being mayor, deputy, minister or regional president" and says she is "grateful to fate".

"I am of peasant origin and I have always been told to beware of these words: 'Fountain, I will not drink your water.'

"

The one who has paid for the luxury of a re-election in an armchair without alliance neither with the Greens, nor with LFI also tackles Jean-Luc Mélenchon which she is not "certain" that he "is on the left".

"The left defends the Republic, fights against communitarianism and does not fall into conspiracy theories," she says.
