“Faced with Wauquiez, she is the only one with whom there can be a match.” This was the argument that the supporters of Najat Vallaud-Belkacem (PS) repeated when they hoped to convince the left to unite behind it for these regions.
As Euro football begins, the former minister is, in the polls, in the shoes of a team led 2-0 with a quarter of an hour from the end. So she attacks, like Wednesday evening on France 3, a Laurent Wauquiez camped on his (political) line, sure of his strength.
Cécile Cukierman (PCF-LFI) wants to weigh on the left in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
This debate, she expected, and despite the format (seven candidates in an hour and a half), she pulled out of the game, succeeding in establishing a duel with the outgoing president. She now dreams of a “real debate”, she said Thursday evening, in front of a little more than two hundred people conquered during a meeting in Cournon-d’Auvergne: a face-to-face.
What is at stake for her, at the end of the campaign, is rather the team composition for the second round. Arrived at the head of the left (polls place it between 9 and 14%, half of Jean-Jack Queyranne’s score in 2015), she could then be the captain.
“The RN and En Marche are alone, so only the left forces will remain. We will be two similar blocks, around the 30 points. Then another story will begin, a clash between two visions of the world, of governance. “

With a presence in the second round, the essential for her would have been assured, to have returned to the political scene after four years of withdrawal, facing an opponent of national stature. And after a rather difficult campaign: the absence of union, the covid which forced her to isolate herself, the moribund polls, racist tags and then this blunder on the set of BFM-TV, when she was unable to name the Allier prefecture. Bruno Bonnell (LREM) had done the same, without it taking on such a scale. It is, for the former elected representative of the Rhône, the price of notoriety.
What are the chances of Fabienne Grébert, head of the environmentalist list in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes?
This difficult campaign, she mentioned it a few days ago: “For four years, I was much more peaceful, serene. But I could not bring myself to see our country crumble like that, the nullity of the debate. “.
In order not to ignore the main concern of voters, without offending his electorate, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem speaks in this security campaign, but in the plural. She promises to help people to overcome their “balls in the stomach” on employment, housing, purchasing power, the future of their children. For the socialist candidate, there is only one week left and the anxiety of the first round will be over.
