At a meeting in Toulouse, Anne Hidalgo tackles Macron and Mélenchon
15 days before the first round of the presidential election, Anne Hidalgo delivered a meeting in Toulouse this Saturday at the Petit Palais des Sports. In front of 2,000 people, she tackled the action of Emmanuel Macron and repeated no to the useful vote that would be Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Delga and Méric in support
Before the mayor of Paris, the president of the Occitanie region Carole Delga and the president of the Haute-Garonne department Georges Méric took the stage for speeches. _”_Let’s be proud of our candidate, the left is alive and well. Here and now, in the life of the French. This left of the real and the doing, the one that gets its hands dirty”loose Carole Delga.
“Mélenchon is a dead end”
Anne Hidalgo held a speech of about an hour in front of supporters from all over Occitania. She defended retirement at 62, an increase in teachers’ salaries or even reiterated her desire to boycott Russian oil.
And she attacked the other candidates. In particular the outgoing President Emmanuel Macron: “In 2017, there could be a doubt, but in 2022… After these five years and after the announcement of his social breakage program, there can no longer be any doubt.”
She also reiterated that she did not defend the idea of a useful vote on the left to bring Jean-Luc Mélenchon to the second round: _”_Mélenchon is a dead end. Which town ? Which department? What region has his movement won with his sectarianism and his excesses.”
Anne Hidalgo is going to Auch (Gers) this Saturday evening to conclude her weekend in Occitania.
