Former Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve took the head of the "national support committee" for Anne Hidalgo on Saturday, saying he was "faithful to his political family" and hailing the PS candidate as a personality "intractable on questions of the Republic".

Surrounded by several members of her support committee, such as Senator Patrick Kanner or MP Valérie Rabault, the presidential candidate lamented that we want to "delegitimize the family that we are".

Asked whether she feared that the PS would ask her to withdraw, the candidate for the Elysée, confined to around 3% in the voting intentions, replied to the press: “You will get tired before me!

You don't know me well!

"The Socialist Party has a candidate called Anne Hidalgo", also replied the president of the Occitanie region Carole Delga, a member of her campaign team, who was speaking on behalf of the First Secretary of the PS Olivier Faure, absent for cause of Covid-19.

Anne Hidalgo also announced that former President François Hollande would soon participate in one of his major meetings.

“Anne Hidalgo says things clearly”

Bernard Cazeneuve detailed the reasons why he “willingly” agreed to chair the support committee, emphasizing “the person” of Anne Hidalgo and her “values”.

“Anne Hidalgo says things clearly and I find myself there… she is intractable on questions of the Republic.

In this “campaign of abasement and violence”, it is necessary “to summon the fundamental republican values, harmony, respect, secularism.

(…) That's the Republic, and it's not the desire to seduce segments of the population, ”he insisted.

“I am a socialist, resolutely,” he continued, and “I tend to be loyal to my political family, and all the more so as times are more difficult than they once were.”


“Let us proudly affirm our identity”, continued the former minister, referring to the great successes of the left, such as the abolition of the death penalty, the major social reforms, or even the COP 21 on the climate.

Asked about some of his recent remarks criticizing the PS, he explained: “I said that we had perhaps not worked enough collectively, that was addressed to me first.

“We are the government left.

Generally when the left comes to power, it means that reality is difficult (…).

It is always when the crisis is here that this left is called upon to govern.

Because the French are looking for a path of hope, ”he insisted.
