Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine is a town north of Paris with a very diverse population: in its working-class neighbourhoods Algerians, Moroccans, Tunisians and people from sub-Saharan Africa live side by side. Politically, Saint-Ouen has traditionally been a left-wing stronghold, although the right won in 2020.
The Green Party candidate withdraws her candidacy because she is a lesbian.
The Green councillor Sabrina Decanton of Les Verts (EELV) has issued a statement announcing that she is withdrawing her candidacy in the forthcoming elections. According to the statement published by… FDSouche, the problem is that some members of his circle considered that his sexual orientation “would be incompatible with the support of the popular neighbourhoods"”.

Homophobic attacks within the party and hidden group
Sabrine Decanton explains that this decision comes after weeks and months of behaviour, comments and attacks that considers unacceptable within the local ecologists' group. He says that he has received homophobic attacks from some members of their own political movement. They told him that, because of his sexual orientation, would be “incapable of convincing the working-class neighbourhoods” and that his homosexuality “would prevent him from winning”. She describes these comments as discriminatory, stigmatising and contrary to the values that environmentalists publicly uphold.

He wants residents to be able to make a fully informed choice, without any opacity or manoeuvres that distort democratic functioning. That is why Calls for a transparent, honest and respectful local policy., and states that discrimination and pressure have no place in any organisation that presents itself as a defender of rights and equality.
