Will he have his sponsorships? It’s a true suspense
for Philippe Poutou, the candidate of the New Anti-Capitalist Party. At the last count of the Constitutional Council, Tuesday March 1, the candidate had validated 342 sponsorships, far from the 500 necessary. But his team did not surrender.
We are on the same curve as five years ago, said again a close Wednesday. Between the penultimate and the last count, in 2017, we had collected 223 additional sponsorships. It’s the same dynamic today. We previously collected about 25 referrals between Thursdays and Tuesdays (day on which the official counts are broadcast by the Constitutional Council)but we counted 99 more between Thursday and last Tuesday

Presidential candidacies: like a remote duel, there are only 2 questions left. A false suspense with a Macron who has still not declared himself officially and a real suspense for the Npa candidacy which does not yet have its 500 sponsorships but which is approaching it.

Other candidates in bad shape
The team of the anti-capitalist candidate still believes in it. All our activists are on the road
it says.We are convinced that we will get there
.
Several candidates have been confronted with this delicate situation: this was notably the case of Marine Le Pen or Eric Zemmour, who finally obtained their 500 sponsorships, but Christiane Taubira was forced to throw in the towel. Also in bad shape are sovereigntist François Asselineau (263), trade unionist Anasse Kazib (144) and animalist Hélène Thouy (114).
Supporters
Elected officials have shown themselves to be sensitive to the calls made by the NPA candidate to complete his sponsorships. The Insoumis Jean-Luc Mélenchon, deputy notably brought him his.
But what would a presidential election be without Philippe Poutou?

From the start of the sponsorship search campaign, Philippe Poutou’s teams had explained that they were coming up against elected officials, mayors without labels in particular, anxious to preserve a form of neutrality in their municipality. Some want household peace
, it was said, some fearing to appear with a revolutionary candidate. Other elected officials also expressed the wish to stay away from national politics.
“Sponsoring is not supporting”
Sponsoring is not supporting
, had to remind Prime Minister Jean Castex on several occasions, to encourage elected officials to mobilize. And reassure them. Because the advertising of sponsorships is often called into question. She makes elected officials fear that their fellow citizens do not impute to them sponsorship, but support for the candidate presented
, underlined the collective of elected officials “Our democracy”, launched by François Bayrou. The elected officials who joined him undertook to sponsor all the candidates “exceeding 10% in the voting intentions”, without however specifying on the basis of which polls.
“Obsolete”?
Wednesday, Christiane Taubira questioned a system obsolete
which favors far-right candidates. But Nathalie Arthaud, the candidate of Lutte Ouvrière, contradicts this analysis. She was the 4th candidate, behind three candidates from government parties (Emmanuel Macron, Anne Hidalgo and Valérie Pécresse) to obtain her 500 sponsorships. Long-term work in the field, started in June by all of its 8,000 activists.
