"If to govern is to give up, we must stop playing politics"

radical

enough

. “

I read your program. I see to what extent there is not sufficient transformation to achieve the objectives of the IPCC

”, she challenged him. "

The ecology of government that you propose is an ecology that does not go to the end of the road

", she judged. The response of the concerned was not long in coming: “

If to govern is to give up, we must stop playing politics. We have to get involved in social movements

”. “

The two candidates were particularly divided on the place of the car.

I am not for deletion.

Where my mother lives in the Aisne, you need a car,

”defended Yannick Jadot, proposing above all to develop the transport offer in the most remote areas.

Sandrine Rousseau, for her part, defended the idea of ​​"

demobility

", which consists in "

not increasing the number of trips

" that can be grouped together.

While waiting for this change in habits, the "feminist" proposes to massify the use of "

light cars

".

"

If a person touches 885 euros, and that each time to fill up, it is 100 euros, that will not do it

", joked Yannick Jadot.

Bisbils and promises

Sandrine Rousseau also challenged her opponent on her participation in the controversial police gathering last April. "

Ever policies have to be in the back of police demonstrations

"

,

has she tried. The MEP responded by assuring that the police had asked him to be present so as not to "

leave them alone with the extreme right

". “

It was not comfortable, but steering is not comfortable.

I considered that my political role was to be alongside these exemplary police officers

, ”he explained. Replica of Sandrine Rousseau:

"Me, my political role, it is to receive them, apart from the demonstration"

Yannick Jadot:

"Did you receive them?"

,

"Yes, yes I contacted them"

,

"Okay"

.

The propulsive force with the values ​​of the left, it is the ecology that carries it

"humanist arc"
