Hamon blir socialisternas kandidat i vårens val
Benoît Hamon blir Socialistpartiets kandidat i det franska presidentvalet i vår. Han besegrade Manuel Valls i partiets primärval på söndagskvällen, men tros inte komma särskilt långt i kampen om presidentposten.
Enligt opinionsmätningarna riskerar Hamon att bli utslagen i första omgången i presidentvalet den 23 april – kanske en effekt av hur impopulär hans partikamrat, president François Hollande, är. Leder i mätningarna gör i stället Nationella frontens Marine Le Pen, förre finansministern Emmanuel Macron (som ställer upp som oberoende kandidat) och Republikanernas François Fillon.

Wikipedia (en)
Benoît Hamon (French: [bə.nwa a.mɔ̃]; born 26 June 1967) is a French politician and a member of both the Socialist Party (PS), and the Party of European Socialists. He became the Socialist candidate for the 2017 French presidential election after defeating Manuel Valls in the second round of the party's primary on 29 January 2017.
Hamon was Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the East of France from 2004 to 2009. He was also the leader of the left-wing of the PS during the 2008 Reims Congress and its candidate for the First Secretaryship. In May 2012, he was appointed as Junior Minister for the Social Economy at the Ministry of the Economy, Finance, and External Trade by President François Hollande, serving in that post for two years. He was Minister of National Education from April 2014 until August 2014, resigning as a result of President Hollande's abandonment of a socialist agenda.
