Again put in question, Fillon made in the face of slander, Le Figaro

searches were conducted Tuesday in the national Assembly, in the offices of the applicant and in the administrative services.

The machine goes out of control. In the margin of a symposium with entrepreneurs, on Tuesday evening, French prime minister François Fillon said he was the victim of a “smear operation to be very professional, extremely large, unprecedented under the Fifth Republic”. He said that he was “serene and confident”, in anticipation of the closing of the investigation.

The twists and turns of political-judicial-will continue at a torrid pace, both imposed by the revelations of the press and the willingness of investigators to move quickly. Even if, as noted by the great questions and considerations for this, and former president Jean-Yves Leborgne, “imagine setting this kind of sensitive cases in two strokes of the spoon as well as pot is not reasonable”. The beginning of the week of Francis and Penelope Fillon is like a calvary. Seven days after its first revelations on the jobs alleged fictitious Penelope Fillon as parliamentary attaché of her husband and as an employee of the Revue des deux mondes, Le Canard enchaîné is back on the case, saying in its edition of Wednesday, that the sum received by Penelope Fillon as assistant parliamentarian of her husband and his alternate, Marc Joulaud would be 831.440 euros gross. The wife of the applicant would have been paid as of 1988 and not from 1998 to 2002, as the weekly news paper wrote last week. With respect to the income earned by two of the children of François Fillon as parliamentary assistant in the Senate – a mission in which their father himself revealed the existence it has been one week on TF1, the weekly advance, the sum of 84,000 euros: 57.084 euros gross collected by Marie Fillon and 26.651 euros by his brother, Charles. In all more than one million euros for the wife and two children of the applicant.

so far, the line of defence of Antonin Levy, a lawyer of the spouses Fillon, remains the same : to calm down the game by working with the judges while upholding the presumption of innocence of Francis and Penelope Fillon. The preliminary investigation focuses on the qualifications of misappropriation of public funds and abuse of social good under a contract of work that was not honored in the Revue des deux mondes. “It is not those who are accused to prove their innocence but the investigators based their guilt,” recalls coldly Antonin Lévy.

After the auditions separated from the couple on Monday, between 15: 20 and about 21 hours, at the offices versaillais investigators of the central Office for the fight against corruption and crimes (financial OCLCIFF), the office of French prime minister François Fillon at the national Assembly as well as the administrative services of the Palais Bourbon were raided Tuesday morning. According to Le Parisien, or badge, or mail box in the name of Penelope Fillon, not more than the contracts of employment relating to, would not have been found on site. To the presidency of the Assembly, it is pointed out that “the staff members have not consistently badges and even fewer who are working in the district. As for the email boxes, the employees use often that of their mp as a generic address. In regards to employment contracts, these are the members who are employers and not the Assembly”.

“It is not those who are accused to prove their innocence but the investigators based their guilt “

The couple has tried Monday, in front of the investigators, to demonstrate the reality of the missions carried out by Penelope Fillon as the assistant parliamentarian. “At the hearing, we have first explained what it meant to be attached to parliamentary and the reality of the function,” says Antonin Lévy. There are two types of collaborators, those who are based in Paris and is assisting the mp in his missions to day-to-day and those who are in a constituency, and whose role will be to accompany the latter in the local meetings, respond to various requests, to recall the grant applications and elicit responses to the various letters of the administered. In passing, I recall that a member of parliament, as French prime minister François Fillon speaks about five speeches a week, half of which is improvised. His wife has also contributed to their development. All of these contributors write therefore not “technical notes”

Monday, in the afternoon, Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, the shareholder of the Revue des deux mondes, was also heard by the investigators. “We have handed over documents showing the incorrectness of the statements made by Kinky Michel, the former director of the editorial” who had denied any knowledge of Penelope Fillon, said soberly Emmanuel Brochier, the lawyer of the businessman. Several lecture notes and items ordered but not published, would have been handed over to investigators. It was recalled that the editorial director had a bad eye on the hiring of Penelope Fillon, but he knew perfectly the pseudonym under which she worked. Their dispute would have resulted in the resignation of the wife of François Fillon a little over a year after his hiring. As for the tips to restore luster to the magazine’s centennial, they would have been delivered orally.

on Tuesday, the site Mediapart reopened the controversy by stating that Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière would have paid employee from march 2015 within the Foundation Culture and diversity Alexia Demirdjian, a person in charge of the digital campaign of François Fillon, without that this gives rise to an effective work. Enough to provoke the wrath of the director of campaign of the candidate of the right, Patrick Stefanini, who has defended the double-hatted professional young woman. At a press briefing Tuesday morning, he also hoped that “the investigation does not interfere when the time came, with a democratic process is absolutely essential in the democratic life of the country”. The hearings will continue. Marc Joulaud, the mayor LR Sablé-sur-Sarthe, which has hired Penelope Fillon from 2002 to 2007, will be heard this Wednesday by investigators.

Gather the left and his own: the delicate mission of Benoît Hamon – Maritima.info

By Ayham AL-MOHAMMAD

forces fighting the group islamic State (EI) in Syria have received for the first time, armored us, the administration of Donald Trump promises “more support” in their fight against the organization jihadi.

This delivery announced Tuesday by the two parties comes at a time when the democratic Forces in syria (SDS), which were launched two months ago their offensive to capture Raqa, the main stronghold of the EI in Syria, are treading water for weeks.

In a Syria ravaged by the war, the SDS, dominated by the forces kurds but including fighters arabs, were created in October of 2015, with Washington’s support to hunt the fearsome group ultraradical of the areas it occupies in the north of syria.

A leader in the u.s. military, colonel John Dorrian, said that the delivery of the vehicle type SUV has been made “under existing permissions”, under the administration of Barack Obama.

If the decision has been taken before the inauguration of Mr. Trump, the delivery has been interpreted by the FDS as the sign of a new support.

The administration Trump has promised more support to the SDS, said a spokesman of this alliance Talal Sello. “In the past, we would get weapons, ammunition. With armor, we are entering a new phase”.

- “arab Component” of the FDS -

“there have been meetings between the SDS and representatives of the new administration and they promised us more support, particularly for the battle of Raqa,” said Mr. Sello.

The new u.s. president has given until the end of February to its military officials to present a plan “to defeat” the ARS group responsible for atrocities in Syria and Iraq and terrorist attacks especially in the West.

us officials have insisted that the vehicles had been delivered to the arab component of the FDS dominated by the defence Units of the kurdish people (YPG).

Under the Obama administration, Washington has always taken pains to assert that it was the arab component and not the component of the kurdish of the FDS, to avoid according to the experts of offending its ally the Turkish, also involved in the conflict in Syria.

For the Turkey, the FDS are a false nose for the YPG, which it considers an organization as “terrorist”.

For the moment, “there has been no change in policy,” american, told the AFP Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman. “We continue to arm the arab component of the FDS”.

This alliance was launched on November 6, a major offensive to retake Raqa (north). After taking a series of villages and localities in the province of the same name, they are treading water since the 7th of January.

They are found from 5 km from the town of Tabqa, a major HEADQUARTERS of the ARS to the west of Raqa, where is the largest prison of the group. Other forces of the FDS are located 20 km north of Raqa.

- Report of the negotiations at the February 20 -

“The FDS are stagnant due to the proliferation of suicide attacks of the AES”, who wants to defend the stronghold at all costs, said Rami Abdel Rahmane, director of the syrian Observatory Human rights (OSDH).

In a year, the FDS have won a series of victories, taking up especially the AR the town of Minbej, near the Turkish border.

After having launched in 2014 its air campaign against the EI in Iraq and Syria, Washington, at the head of an international coalition, found itself confronted with the need to find an ally reliable in the field, thus promoting the creation of the FDS, to the chagrin of Ankara.

In addition, the White House deploys in Syria some 200 members of the special forces.

The war in Syria, which began after the bloody repression of protests, pro-democracy in march 2011, has made more of 310,000 dead. It has become increasingly complex with the rise of groups jihadists, and the involvement of major powers including the United States and Russia, the ally of the regime of Bashar al-Assad.

in New York, the special envoy on Syria Staffan de Mistura affirmed that the peace talks on Syria under the aegis of the UN had been deferred to the 20 February.

This report would give more time to the syrian opposition, in a weak position after the series of defeats of the rebels against the regime, for which it prepares, according to diplomats.

Facing the breakthrough of Emmanuel Macron, The Republicans want to keep the head cold – Europe1

It is the new opponent to take down. The dynamic created by Emmanuel Macron, who, as early as the day after the primary organized by the PS has started to attract some of the supporters of Manuel Valls, has not escaped to the right, which already installs the idea of a duel Fillon/Macron, and seeks to bring to the former minister, the balance of the current quinquennium. “Mr. Macron, it is necessary to begin to take care of them”, launched by François Baroin, mayor of Troyes, at the great meeting of French prime minister François Fillon, Sunday, at la Villette. The sarkozyste, became strategic advisor to the campaign of the Sarthois, was keen to bring the ex-minister of the Economy in the hands of Fran� �ois Hollande : “It is the last wheel of the rescue of the orphans of the hollandisme”, he said. “Dear Francis, you must save us from the family Macron-Hamon, the family Hacron !”, still has implored the forum Virginie Calmels, deputy Alain Juppé mayor of Bordeaux. “What I see, after the primary organized by the PS, it is a clarification”, is still from Europe 1 Thierry Solère, a spokesman for French prime minister François Fillon. “Macron is now the last representatives of the hollandisme”, he said, after the victory of the former rebellious Benoît Hamon.

“A missile anti-Macron”

Republicans are also seeking to prevent the leakage of potential activists tempted by the adventure of president of the former tenant of Bercy. Last Wednesday, French prime minister François Fillon attended the official launch of DroiteLib', a movement founded by Virginie Calmels. The goal : to provide a concrete support to François Fillon, by aggregating the hires of civil society, a little in the manner of “power up !”. “All the issues are not necessarily addressed in a campaign, it will put in place working groups, and on some of the issues, we will make proposals. We will also begin the project of François Fillon and pedagogy”, described in detail in particular from Europe 1 the elected, landed in politics for only three years after more than twenty years spent in the corporate world.

A tool for in-depth, but not only, because DroiteLib' looks like is also seriously a bulwark against the temptations of a-line moderate that can appeal to the speech of the one who said “neither left nor right”. “A missile anti-Macron”, summarizes mid-word a Republican. Juppéiste, the outcome of the civil society, Virginie Calmels seems particularly designated to talk to the electorate of Emmanuel Macron. Moreover, the applicant itself points to the similarities of course : “to Be in politics for a short time. It comes not from a system, even if it is passed by the ENA and has been a senior civil servant. And then, we are almost of the same age.”

The dynamic Fillon at the stop

It must be said that the momentum created by Emmanuel Macron, in fact, now a candidate of size to worry the right. If in the opinion polls on the presidential election, François Fillon continues to outpace the former adviser of François Hollande, which does not cross the walk the first lap, his lead, however, has begun to pile up. At least that is what reveals the latest survey Kantar Sofres-One Point for Le Figaro, RTL and LCI, made after the controversy over the remuneration affected by Penelope Fillon, and placing the elbow-to-elbow the candidate of the right (22%) and Emmanuel Macron (21%). Taking into account the margin of error, equivalent to 1 point, François Fillon, and Emmanuel Macron swim now “in the same waters”, according to the formula of Edouard Lecerf, director of Political Opinion department of the Kantar Public.

In fact, the phenomenon Macron seduced to the right, and has even begun to erode some support among former politicians. Serge Lepeltier, and Renaud Dutreil, both ex-UMP and former ministers of Jacques Chirac, joined the former protégé of François Hollande in recent weeks. “The chiraquie, historic canal, is behind Macron”, provides the second in Liberation, even if the LinkedIn group he started, “the right with Macron”, does today announced that a quarantine of subscribers. At the end of January, this is Alain Minc, a former supporter of Alain Juppé, who has announced his support to Emmanuel Macron. “I’m going to vote Emmanuel Macron. For a reason : he is the only candidate truly european”, explained the president of SANEF in The Sunday Newspaper. “I regret the result of the primary. If Juppé had won, there would be no Macron. But Macron has it that Napoleon demanded of his generals : talent and luck. The talent he has shown. Lucky, it has all the days”.

a Few “isolated cases” of desertion

For the time being, no baron of the party has not yet crossed the Rubicon. But before the breakthrough of the former adviser to François Hollande, still in the zenith of his popularity, the warnings have multiplied in the entourage of François Fillon, because the leaks could be coming from elsewhere. “Attention, all youth share with Macron”, has launched the mp for the Val-de-Marne Jacques-Alain Bennisti mid-January. “There could be temptations on the evening of the defeat”, wants to qualify Virginie Calmels. “Sometimes, it was their first political engagement. Inevitably, the evening of the second round, there was disappointment. There is also a question : is that all will see automatically on François Fillon ? For the majority, the answer was yes. But there is a minority, not necessarily loose, which was less in the mechanism of the primary and for which this logic does not apply. They were first attached to a person”. For a portion of thes e lost, DroiteLib was able to serve as a container : “they are young people, some the same evening of the defeat [of the second round of the primary, editor's note], who have asked me to start a movement.”

Matthew Ellerbach, a former president of the Young with Juppé, now engaged in the campaign of François Fillon, speaks of a few “isolated cases” of desertion. “On 1.500 support committees, there has been less than ten animators left at Macron”, he says with Europe 1. “After the second round, there has been a disappointment, it is true. But, for me, the source of my commitment it was to the end of the quinquennium of Francois Hollande and the threat of the FN. These two objectives, we can continue with French prime minister François Fillon”, he said, while recalling that, Emmanuel Macron, three months before the election, has not yet unveiled its program.

An electorate too volatile ?

It is upon this point that relies Jean-Pierre Raffarin to target, according to him, the high volatility of the electorate of Emmanuel Macron : “harvest of discontent and likely to electorates that are, between them, are incompatible,” stresses on Europe 1, the former Prime minister of Jacques Chirac. “I’ve already met three or four people parties in Macron, but returned to the right,” says Virginie Calmels. “It is for that dynamic, I believe that it is very fragile. As soon as we talk a little, that there is an argument, it does not, even with contractors. In my opinion, it still attracts a lot of people who don’t know where to go, and who are seduced by the novelty.” “It is a very beautiful marketing operation of non-commitment. It remains unclear, and it is effective”, concludes Jean-Pierre Raffarin. With a program announced for the end of the month of February, there is still a month to Emmanuel Macron to fine-tune a p roject that is able to retain its supporters come from the left… but also right.

The primary-to-left past, Macron wants to take back the initiative – The World

The nomination of Benoît Hamon might promote the homing of the right flank of the PS candidate to power up !, who hopes to gather 10,000 people Saturday in Lyon.

World | • updated | By

Emmanuel Macron, on 19 January in Paris.

Advance from the first round of the election, the victory of Benoît Hamon is officially considered a ” non-event “ among the troops of Emmanuel Macron. Better, ” says his entourage, it confirms the intuitions of the former minister of the economy, which only saw in the primary that ” war of the clans “ to which he had no interest to participate. the ” This election, it is a congress open to the sky at the end of which no gathering is possible “, repeated from Sunday evening, Richard Ferrand, mp (PS) of Finistère and secretary-general of march !

In reality, the campaign team of the former tenant of Bercy has followed with attention the ballot, and monitored as the milk on the fire and its consequences on the left. A priori, the election of Mr. Hamon opens a boulevard to Mr. Macron on the right flank of the socialist Party. the ” Number of voters the social democrats do not appear in the program of Hamon, which they considered unrealistic, and will turn to us “ welcomes a parliamentary member of the political committee of the running !

Fingering

But, warn some close, the boulevard will be all the more significant that this interest will be managed with finesse. the ” If 200 elected socialists to join us overnight, we run the risk of looking like a socialist Party bis and scare voters “, warns Christophe Castaner, deputy (PS) of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. To avoid this influx, the spokesperson for the candidate making for the last several days that ” rallying is not worth investiture “. the ” Those who come to negotiate a constituency are not welcome “, ” says Dr. Castaner.

The time should be handled with much more tact that Mr Macron hopes to give a new impetus to his campaign, now that his opponents are all known. He asked his team to put the package on its meeting of Lyon, scheduled Saturday, February 4, at the palais des sports de Gerland. This will be ” one of the most important at this stage of the campaign “, promises the former tenant of Bercy in a message posted Sunday on Facebook, where he calls his supporters ” of the city, the region, even beyond “ to mobilize. In private, his entourage says that he wants to bring together 10 000 people. Objective : to show that he has not participated in the primary, Mr. Macron also has a popular support. He also wants to distance Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen, who also meet their voters in the capital of the Gauls this weekend.

A program always blur

If it remains well-placed in the polls, where it is perceived as the third man in the election, Emmanuel Macron knows that he has no right to the error. Without party or political support for large-scale, in any case for the time being, his strategy is only on the condition to maintain in front of the other candidates of the left in the studies of opinion. As Benoît Hamon and Jean-Luc Mélenchon catch up, and his speech on the need for the left to pull up behind her if she wants to be present at the second tower collapses. the ” Macron, it is like the shark, it must swim constantly if he does not want to flow “, has fun, an elected Dutch. Sunday 29 January, the ex-minister has received the backing of Pierre Bergé (a shareholder of the World ) which has given its ” support ” without any restriction “. the ” Those who say that it has no agenda are fools. The program is plain and obvious “, has insisted t he businessman in a statement to AFP.

the presentation of The program of Emmanuel Macron, scheduled for late February, will be the yardstick determining. So far, he has merely to announce a few measures, a day on education, another on health or culture, without actually encrypting them, nor can they provide framing overall budget. A blur which gives an angle of attack to its opponents. the ” Emmanuel is in the process of arbitrating its agreement with the nation, reassures Benjamin Griveaux, a spokesman for running ! in The set will be focused around ten priority reforms that our legislative candidates will be required to commit in writing to vote. This will be our weapon anti-slingers ! “ And, hope his entourage, a passport to the Elysée.

ACCOMMODATION Almost four million people are inadequately housed, and over 12 million are in a “fragile position relative to the housing”, according to the annual report of the foundation…

the balance sheet of The mandate of François Hollande in the fight against the poor housing is ” half-hearted “, says the fondation Abbé Pierre, in its annual report, which was delivered Monday to the president of the Republic.

>> Story: “I live here in 9m2 with my husband and our five children”

Despite the commitments of the candidate Hollande, who had signed the “social Contract” of the foundation in February 2012, and a “legislative activity fairly dense” housing-related during the five-year programme (law ALUR, act on the mobilisation of the land, public law for the energy transition, etc), in 2017 “the number of people facing the housing crisis continues to increase,” according to the report.

More than 12 million people in a ” fragile position relative to the housing “

Nearly four million people are poorly housed, (that is to say, it is to be deprived of housing staff live in housing conditions that are very difficult) and more than 12 million are in a “fragile position relative to the housing” (tenants in situations of unpaid, owners occupying a unit in a condominium in difficulty, etc).

If the foundation Abbé Pierre is not in a position to compare strictly the evolution, during the quinquennium, the number of poorly housed, it highlights several trends are showing a worsening of the situation : the number of homeless people for example (of 143,000, according to the Insee) has increased by 50 % between 2001 and 2012. One of the people forced to be hosted at third parties rose by 19 % between 2002 and 2013. And the people in a situation of “crowding accentuated” (when it is lacking two or more pieces to the housing) are “more numerous” : +17 % between 2006 and 2013.

On the plan of real estate, ” while the president of the Republic had set itself the target of 500,000 new buildings per year, of which 150,000 social housing units, we can only observe at the end of this quinquennium that the account is not there “, also highlights from the report : “since 2012, less than 400,000 housing units are started each year, despite a rise in production during the course of the last year of the quinquennium “.

The evictions have made a “spectacular leap annual 24 %” in 2015

The Fondation Abbé Pierre also regrets that ” the evictions still occur with the assistance of the public force without resettlement, contrary to the commitments the president “. They have even made a ” spectacular leap annual 24 % in 2015 “.

Among the positive points, the fondation Abbé Pierre cites the rent regulation that has ” the practical effects and the direct, hard economic and trébuchants, for the household “, and that it is ” essential to strengthen “. “The seeds have been sown, and of the progress achieved, in respect of rents, orientation assignment social HOUSING, governance, energy poverty… But they will not address the scale of the bad housing “.

To reverse the trend, ” it is necessary to completely change scale “, says Christophe Robert, general delegate of the Fondation Abbé Pierre. “If we put in place a large national plan of action for taking out the homeless for their situation, we can resolve the question in five or ten years, according to the territories “, he says.

The 15 proposals of the Fondation Abbé Pierre

in order To effectively combat the poor housing, the Fondation Abbé Pierre emits fifteen proposals among which the production of 150,000 social housing units per year accessible to the most modest, the mobilization of the private park for social purposes, the implementation of a policy of early prevention of evictions, or even the reversal of “strainers thermal” (inadequately insulated dwellings).

with Regard to migrants, the foundation insists on the need to provide resources for housing and support and the more flexible the possibilities for regularisation, ” in order to avoid that tens of thousands of people are in a precarious situation for years “.

on Tuesday, some of the main presidential candidates, with the exception of Marine Le Pen with which the Foundation is in ” profound disagreement “, will discuss these topics at The Defence. Are advertised Yannick Jadot, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Emmanuel Macron, and Benoît Hamon. Christopher Robert insists : “We want to show that it is possible to do otherwise “.

Mao Péninou: “Hamon must agree to the nomination of Macron” – The World

” Macron is the only one who can be the candidate of the left in position to win, ” said Mao Péninou, deputy socialist Anne Hidalgo in Paris, responsible for the cleanliness.

World | • updated | interview by

Benoît Hamon, in Paris, on January 29.

Anne Hidalgo has said she tried to dissuade you from supporting Emmanuel Macron ?

We had a political discussion. She does not believe in the nomination of Emmanuel Macron. She tried to make me share his point of view. But there has never been any threat of his hand on my delegation of the deputy. It would have made no sense. In his executive, in addition to the socialists, there are people who come from the right chiraquienne, the MoDem, the communist Party. There is a plurality in its majority that there was no reason to put pressure on me to try to dissuade me. I would add that between the municipal policy paris that I support and the guidance of Macron, there are a lot of common points. This is one of the reasons that I will engage in the presidential campaign behind Macron.

Where ?

Between Hidalgo and Macron, it is the same will of renovation of the public life, the same observation that the political parties of the left have lost their inventiveness, of the porosity with the company. Other points in common : the commitment to the european Union ; a conception of the relationship between State and society, devoid of authoritarianism ; a report stilled to Islam, to immigration, to the question of the refugees… not to mention the willingness to invest very strongly in new technologies and support to small businesses.

Hidalgo-Macron same fight ?

I think, yes ! The left side of tomorrow, it is the two of them. You are the one and the other the future of the progressives. If it had been in a position to be a candidate in the presidential election, I would have supported. It embodies a left anchor closest to my personal history.

Why do you not have supported Valls, rather than Macron ?

I’m not agree with his vision chevènementiste of the society, its relation to immigration, secularism, the Republic, to the authority.

Macron isn’t it especially the candidate of the urban cities ?

I am convinced that it represents a synthesis which corresponds to their expectations. In the eyes of the elect of the 19e arrondissement that I am, what he says about the need to give everyone the means to succeed in its own journey may very well correspond to the aspirations of young people integrated that I meet in Belleville that of those who feel themselves in the relegation in the cities in the sensitive of my district.

As you said Jean-Christophe Cambadélis when you have announced your decision ?
He told me that he was in disagreement with my choice but that he respected her. For my part, I always feel socialist. For me, there is a link to ideological between Jaurès, Blum, Mendes-France, Rocard, Strauss-Kahn and Macron. Of course, I resigned from my role as the person responsible for the file of the members on the 20th of January. But I keep my card in the PS. This will be the party to decide what it makes of those who join Macron. For my part, I won’t be candidate in legislative elections. I do not come in Macron to fill a role. I have come to help her win.

How ?

I will be an actor of a desire for rapprochement between the reformist left of the PS and Macron. I hope that in the coming months the socialist Party, its applicant, taking the language with him and rallied to his candidacy. Macron is the only one who can be the candidate of the left in a position to win. There was a time when the question of all of us, it is how you gain and on what direction. Benoît Hamon and me, we meet for many years. We had a lot of disagreements, except when it was supported Martine Aubry together ! I know its pragmatism and its ability to discussion. I think this reconciliation is possible.

the senator of the Loire Maurice Vincent has also formalized his rallying to Emmanuel Macron. He explains on his website that ” several proposals headlights “ of Benoît Hamon are ” utopian dangerous “. He salutes the contrary, the project of former minister of the economy, which ” confirms the importance of the european commitment, takes into account the rapid changes in our society, fosters innovations, such as the solidarity news “.

René Dosière, member of parliament for the Aisne, the scrutineer of the government expenditure that supported Manuel Valls, has announced that it ” does not support[t] not Benoît Hamon “ to the presidential election – holding that its programme ” is not one of the left-head “ without specifying to which would be his choice in the presidential election.

Finally, in a press release forgotten on Monday evening, Jean-Louis Gagnaire, member of parliament for the Loire, believes that Benoît Hamon has earned ” on a project appealing not feasible “ and announced that it joined the who, ” alone, can defeat the announced duel between the right of François Fillon and the extreme right of Marine Le Pen “.

there are also those who have not yet crossed the Rubicon, but seem to prepare for it. Frédéric Cuvillier, deputy of the Pas-de-Calais, ex-minister of transport and close to François Hollande, has in these last days, multiplied declarations favourable to the leader to walk !. Friday, on Europe 1, he felt that he ” need to be next to Emmanuel Macron to avoid the extreme-right “. And in the columns of the JDD on Sunday, he made no secret of his preference :

” for Me, it would be no problem. He has been an advisor to the president, minister of this government, it embodies also a form of reform is popular and he is in a situation that allows him to tackle the hard campaign with the conditions rather favorable. “

Dominique Baert, member of parliament and mayor (PS) of Wattrelos (North), also seemed to lean towards the former minister of the economy. He explained to prefer his “ cousin “Emmanuel Macron in” false brother ” Benoît Hamon, according to comments reported by a journalist of the Voice of The North on Twitter :
