Lhe People’s Primary leaders continue to jump ship from the Left Rally. Two weeks after the departure of Mathilde Imer, it is the turn of the other co-founder of the citizens’ movement, Samuel Grzybowski, to announce to Release, to sail towards other horizons and to join the candidacy of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Samuel Grzybowski has indeed decided to join the popular Victory collective, which will campaign to lead the Insoumis to the second round, in two weeks.
Accused of “treason” by certain voters of the Popular Primary, whose collective had divided after announcing its rallying to La France insoumise on March 5 following the defection of Christiane Taubira, Samuel Grzybowski mentioned many “ misunderstandings” and apologized to those who had confidence in his project.
After campaigning for many months in favor of a gathering of left-wing parties, the co-founder of the citizen movement admitted to our colleagues that he was wrong and now believes that Jean-Luc Mélenchon can win without a union. common: “Where I made a mistake, with Mathilde Imer and the rest, is that we believed for months that this victory was impossible without a union of the left. This shows that we are not political professionals and that we are not about to become one. Today I changed my mind. I think we can win without parties coming together”. “It’s possible with the Popular Union,” he added.
