Complicated week for Christiane Taubira, the right and the far right facing the police… The “Recap” of February 4

It’s done: Christiane Taubira emerged victorious from the vote of the Popular Primary, an out-of-party consultation that wanted to unite the left in the presidential election. But the first steps of the candidate are complicated: the union seems distant and several missteps by Christiane Taubira begin to make her task difficult. This is the first title of this ninth episode of the presidential “Recap”, the political meeting of 20 minutes on video.

This electoral campaign is starting with difficulty for the former Minister of Justice, it is having trouble getting started at all for all the candidates for the presidency, in fact. The polls all show that the interest of the electorate for the presidential election is very much down at the same period as in 2017. The Covid-19 does not help, and the expectation linked to the start of the campaign of Emmanuel Macron does not help matters.

Finally, on the right and on the far right, the battle for who will be the strongest is still in full swing. This week, Valérie Pécresse, Marine Le Pen and Eric Zemmour were auditioned by Alliance, the main police union in France. In front of an audience won over to the cause of a security tightening, the candidates unveiled their projects in this area. Alongside an Eric Zemmour who proposes zero immigration, Valérie Pécresse also goes very far, in particular with a proposal deemed unconstitutional by specialists.
