Benois Amon became a candidate for president of France from socialists

In February 5, the Socialist Party officially nominated its candidate Benois Amon to the post of president of France.

A week ago, this 49-year-old politician, considered an outsider, became the winner of the primaries of the left, gaining about 59 percent of the vote in the second round.

About two thousand people came to the Paris Hall, where President Benois candidate was held in President Benois. Among them were the mayor of Paris Ann Idalgo, the former Minister of Justice Christian Trami, as well as some members of the Cabinet of Ministers. The ceremony was also attended by competitors of Amon in the primaries of Arno Montebur and Vincent Payon, but there was no ex-Prime Minister Manuel Valsa, who lost Amon in the second round of the primaries.

As AFP notes, there is no “outflow” of socialists to the former Minister of Economics Emmanuel Macron, who left the government and independently nominated his presidential candidate from the “Forward!” Movement he created! (En marche!). In addition, in a week the rating of Benois Amon increased by about ten percent - up to 16-17 percent
