Another symbol of lost. For many opponents left to the line of the executive, the resignation of Christiane Taubira, Wednesday, January 27, is only a symptom of the divorce between the government and its left wing. And according to them, if the Minister of Justice rose to the rank icon is that it embodies the compass that split the left shaken more than ever.

A view shared by Esther Benbassa. For the eco Senator of Val-de-Marne, opponent to the government line, the presence of the government was that Taubira “symbol” which allowed to “hold on to the rightward face of the executive”.
