PARIS - French President Emmanuel Macron picked his widely respected health minister on Sunday to reinvigorate a campaign to win over Paris City Hall that fell apart when his previous candidate pulled out over a sexting scandal.
His new candidate, Health Minister Agnes Buzyn, a doctor who has been leading France’s response to the coronavirus, told reporters she was throwing herself into the race to win. Pavlensky and his girlfriend, who French media said was the recipient of Griveaux’s texts, were arrested on Saturday and were held for questioning on Sunday over possible charges of privacy violation, the prosecutor’s office said.
But for Macron, the episode marks a new low in his effort to give the three-and-a-half year old En Marche party he created from scratch a sustainable local base.
