France's well-liked former justice minister Christiane Taubira on Saturday launched her bid to unify the floundering French left and challenge President Emmanuel Macron at April presidential elections, but faces a slew of competing candidates reluctant to cede the limelight.

France’s former Justice Minister Christiane Taubira delivers a speech in front of supporters as she makes her candidacy official at a rally for the union of the left in the Croix-Rousse district of Lyon, eastern France, on January 15, 2022.

Taubira blasted “top-down power and absence of social dialogue” under Macron, promising to fight for higher wages, better conditions for school pupils and students, the health service and environmental protection. But she risks becoming just one among six candidates scrambling for votes among the roughly 30 percent of the electorate that leans left.

Taubira’s backers argue that she has the power to stoke “ardour” among left-wingers, who have been the biggest losers from the collapse of the traditional left-right political divide since Macron’s shock 2017 presidential win.
