It is a long sea serpent within Europe Écologie-Les Verts. Who should we talk to, or even ally ourselves with, in view of the presidential election of 2022? Even if these debates came to a serious halt in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, some are still arguing their position, like Yannick Jadot this Tuesday March 31 in Le Parisien . The EELV MEP is pushing for his party to open up, even if it means overflowing a little on the right.
"The largest possible gathering"
"Rather than the Popular Front, I prefer to be inspired by the National Council of the Resistance, that is to say the largest possible gathering of all those who want to mobilize around the great essential transformations of our model ", a he explained. A hollow response also to the rebels, including Jean-Luc Mélenchon and François Ruffin, who are calling for the creation of a new popular front with the forces of the left, including environmentalists.
Yannick Jadot's position is far from unanimous within Europe Écologie-Les Verts. Especially since the election of Julien Bayou last December as the new national secretary gave the party a blow to the left. Whatever, Yannick Jadot, who does not hide having ambitions for the next presidential election, persists and signs. "We must convince that with the lifeblood of our country we can repair society, respect and protect women, men and nature, and promote a resilient, innovative, powerful and just economy, " he said. . "That we are able to unite the French and mobilize them around a new hope, a united project which projects us more serenely into the future," insisted the former head of the list to the Europeans.
Yannick Jadot wants EELV to fight above all to "counter the fallback strategies" proposed by "the nationalists", including Marine Le Pen. "Faced with the dangerous option of populism, faced with a liberal model that has been lost in the sands of globalization, the ecological path is the only legitimate one," he assured.
