An armchair for four.
The deputy Delphine Batho, the MEP Yannick Jadot, the mayor of Grenoble Eric Piolle and the former number 2 of EELV Sandrine Rousseau will face each other in September in the ecological primary of the presidential election.
The first round of the primary will take place from September 16 to 19, the second round from 25 to 28.
The five organizations of the environmental pole (EELV, Générations, Mouvement des progressistes, Génération écologie and the Independent Ecologist Alliance) had mandated 219 sponsors who voted for seven declared candidatures.
To be able to participate, each applicant had to collect at least 28 sponsorships.
The centrist candidate Jean-Marc Governatori, who had denounced having been robbed of his sponsorships by the exclusion of Cap 21 by Corinne Lepage last Wednesday for differences on certain commitments to be kept, did not collect enough sponsorships.
The candidates will now spend the summer beating the campaign to impose their shades of green.
If Yannick Jadot has been a favorite since his breakthrough in the Europeans by wanting to "build a French ecology team".

For her part, Delphine Batho, the former minister wants "another ecology" by assuming "to be for degrowth, to be for a balance between human needs and the needs for the preservation of living things".

Finally, Sandrine Rousseau pleads for a feminist environmentalist and advocates "environmental radicalism".

Once the results are known, environmentalists should ask the left to support their candidate.
