Claude Bartolone announced Wednesday, May 6, he was running for the Socialist nomination for the regional elections in Ile-de-France. While the situation seemed blocked between the two candidates Jean-Paul Huchon, the outgoing president, and Marie-Pierre of Gontrie, its first Vice-President, President of the National Assembly arose in solution of appeal. “If I have to be a solution, I will not shirk my , repeated Mr. Bartolone, during a public meeting at the Pré-Saint-Gervais, in Seine-Saint-Denis. I will file my application if it can allow the rally. “
Martine Aubry, who was present at the meeting supported the former president of the General Council of the Seine-Saint-Denis.
“This is tremendous news for the region. I know he will succeed in gathering the left. “
The President of the National Assembly has waited until the last moment to declare. The Socialists had until May 7 to apply. Activists will vote on May 28 to designate the top of the list in the December elections. The process was encysted to such an extent that the Elysée had indicated that the president was “not satisfied with Huchon-La Gontrie opposition” . The two declared candidates, Claude Bartolone had warned, have not yet indicated whether they would withdraw in favor of the former president of the Seine-Saint-Denis.
Mr. Bartolone said Benoît Hamon, whose candidacy had been considered in recent times, had called several times to encourage him to go. On the side of the former minister of education, like that of Claude Bartolone, it is ensured that everything was played this afternoon. This morning, the deputy of the Yvelines was ready to announce his candidacy for the Socialist primary to designate the top of the list in Ile-de-France. “His interview was ready to announce it,” , assures one of his closest, which says “very happy” of its new champion.
This is the imminence of this announcement, which would have pushed President of the Assembly to go there and announce, not his candidacy, but his “availability” .
Mr Bartolone, he was never to get into the game but the primary to be “call” with his comrades this has not dragged, in the minutes that followed his statement, Benoît Hamon called for support.
The President of the National Assembly so heavily favored hand in the internal process that opens and would face Valérie Pécresse, the candidate of the UMP. Although Claude Bartolone never ceases to want “gather all the left” , as he did for departmental elections in Seine-Saint-Denis, the announcement of his candidature has not discouraged environmentalists. For national secretary of Europe-Ecologie Les Verts, Emmanuelle Cosse, there will be anyway a “green” candidate in the first round.
There are not so long, he seemed Bartolone yet have given up and have even told Francois Hollande that he would not go. He waited, in fact, guarantees that the executive did not seem to give it, such as the ability to stay perch until the election and stay in the event of electoral defeat.
But we must believe that the president finally prefer these conditions for the candidacy of Mr Hamon. If socialist victory, Claude Bartolone however leave the presidency of the Assembly, leaving a coveted spot vacant for the last eighteen months of the Netherlands presidency. And let his dream Matignon fly forever.
