She wants to reshuffle the cards.
According to our information, Sandrine Rousseau, the former spokesperson for EELV from 2013 to 2016, will announce Monday to activists that she wishes to wear the colors of ecology in 2022. This party figure intends to thwart the announced match between MEP Yannick Jadot and the mayor of Grenoble Éric Piolle.
The two men were for the moment the only two environmentalists to express their presidential ambitions.
Carrying out feminist struggles
Sandrine Rousseau intends in particular to combine environmental and feminist struggles.
The former spokesperson for the Greens is at the forefront of the fight against gender-based and sexual violence.
In 2016, she was one of four elected - along with Isabelle Attard, Elen Debost and Annie Lahmer - who accused Denis Baupin of harassment of sexual assault.
She subsequently created the association “Parler” to help victims, preferring to get away from politics.
Sandrine Rousseau had finally returned to the ranks of EELV at the start of the school year.
His candidacy is considered more consensual by certain executives of Europe Ecology-The Greens who assume, internally, not to find themselves in the profiles of Yannick Jadot and Éric Piolle.
