He was the fifth candidate on stage at the primary debate and represents the left wing of the Socialist field.
Maurel, close to the left of the party, prevents the primary from being a two-person race and keeps the question of a more radical economic program alive, which matters to Socialist activists who reject a purely centrist turn.
