The former Keeper of the Seals sent a letter today to all the town halls of France to seek their sponsorship.

According to Christiane Taubira, her victory in the popular primary, which brought together more than 400,000 citizens, gives her the legitimacy to stand in the presidential election.

"It (this legitimacy) honors me as much as it obliges me," she says.

Since the withdrawal of the Radical Left Party from her candidacy, Christiane Taubira finds herself in great danger, with only 73 sponsorships, on February 15.

The former Keeper of the Seals must "go get sponsorship with his teeth", blows one of his advisers.

The deadline of March 4 to validate the 500 sponsorships is fast approaching.
