LeaveElisha He almost lowered his head, dragging his Socialist Party into a state of disappearance from the political scene. But 2017, from here, now seems like the last century: the former president of the French Republic François Hollande He will run again with the Socialists in coalition New Popular Front. It will be his name that will be indicated in the electoral fiefdom Correz, in the center of the country. Hollande was an MP from 1997 to 2012 before being elected Chief of state. He announced a few days ago that dissolving the association was a decision taken “at the worst times and in the worst circumstances,” and said he was “very concerned” about the results of the European elections and developments in France. The former president said, in a series of interviews, that he agreed with the United Left agreement and called, in the second round, for supporting the best candidates to “avoid the extreme right,” even if they were. “Republicans” or the presidential “majority.” Emmanuel Macron.

The Hollande phenomenon – that is, his redemption after leaving the scene without being re-elected – has been going on for months.

Almost all the socialist votes pushed Macron towards the Elysee. Now the opposite path is happening: political analysts explain that the bulk of the “socialist” votes won by the current President of the Republic are returning “home.” It is not yet clear whether the two electoral groups will meet again in an “emergency” moment for a possible presidential runoff.
