Mother's Day is approaching, but Arthur Germain delivered his "gift" early.
The son of Anne Hidalgo, discomfited PS presidential candidate (1.75%) and former deputy, also a socialist, Jean-Marc Germain, was the guest of Apolline de Malherbe on RMC this Tuesday morning , for an interview about his political beliefs and abstention on Sunday.
And the least we can write is that he did not practice the language of wood when affirming his choice of the first round on April 10, after having digressed at length on his refusal of the system, characterized according to him by the choice between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen.
Arthur Germain, the son of Anne Hidalgo, did not vote for his mother, but for… Jean-Luc #Mélenchon.

What follows is this somewhat surreal dialogue:
- Did you vote for the first round anyway?
- I voted in the first round, yeah.
- You had voted Anne Hidalgo I hope, for you, for her?
- So (embarrassed laugh)… So no no no, I didn't vote for my mother.
I voted for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, but not out of strong conviction in reality, it's not that I thought what he was saying was brilliant, but his idea of creating a Sixth Republic could be a way for people raise questions as a whole.
Tu quoque mi fili, Caesar would have concluded.
