" Thursday, Sandra Regol, deputy national secretary of EELV, judges the choice of a premature candidate, conceding however that Yannick Jadot is right to press the Greens on the terms of appointment.
"With us, the Fifth Republic is not the alpha and omega of our way of seeing politics",
justifies the ex-spokesperson, hammering that
"the question of the person is lower than the question of project ”
.
Assuring that the EELV project
"is already in the bag"
, this ecological transition,
"it is our project",
she smiles, without wanting to paraphrase Emmanuel Macron.

Pleading for consultation, she assures us that today, EELV suggests to political, associative and union forces to make
“a project for France, for tomorrow”
, before speaking of incarnation.
As for an internal fratricidal war, that no longer exists:
"I challenge you to find divisions that oppose people in our party in a violent way,
" she said.
However, two figures are opposed in recent weeks: Éric Piolle and Yannick Jadot, both seeming to have the same ambition.
"There is a very great coherence in what they propose (…) there is just a questioning"
on who could go to the presidential election, boot in touch the quadra.
What is certain is that there will be an ecological project in the presidential election.
The question of who will wear it is still open.
Sandra Regol
Is EELV a left party?
Vast question sighs Regol…
“The left of François Hollande, that of social-liberalism?
Or the one we are referring to, a left of progressivism with values of solidarity and sharing? ”
From this perspective, would a left alliance be possible and consistent in the first round with other parties?
“For the moment everything is open
, loose the ecologist.
What is certain is that there will be an ecological project in the presidential election
.
The question of who will wear it is still open. ”
She also notes more and more opening statements on both sides, in a desire to
"cut with the policy of Emmanuel Macron".
Because, despite the latter's promises in terms of ecological transition and the stimulus measures announced by the Prime Minister, the account is not for the Greens.
"These are ad hoc measures, not measures over time,"
she said.
For the time being, Sandra Regol is a candidate in a by-election in Val-de-Marne, in the constituency of Alfortville and Vitry, on September 20 against nine candidates.
Following the decision of Luc Carvounas (PS) to join the town hall of Alfortville and within the framework of the law of non-accumulation of mandates, she could become the only EELV deputy of the Hemicycle.
