Insisting on the duality of left-wing political groups, François Hollande declared this Sunday, September 15, on the RTL Grand Jury-The Figaro-Public Sénat-M6, that there were “two lefts in France”. The former President of the Republic assured that he had “never been in favor of a single left-wing candidate” for the presidential election.
The former head of state, now a member of parliament, assured that “there are two lefts in France, there is a radical left that existed even before the Communist Party, then with the Communist Party, then today with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, then perhaps tomorrow with others.” He specified that “there is a reformist left that must be the first.”
No “single candidate of the left”, especially not Mélenchon

Moreover, the only two left-wing presidents of the Republic who have been elected were elected with a plurality of candidacies”, both François Mitterrand and himself, he stressed.
