The mayor of Paris arrived to the applause of socialist activists in Blois before settling behind her desk.
"
Wait,
" she slips skillfully,
not yet officially a presidential candidate
.
“
This path, this work, is not yet finished,

Anne Hidalgo came to brush the activists, the elected socialists, in the direction of the hair before the publication of her program book on September 15.
Primary cell
