The Socialists "
managed this country
", but it is now time to give way to the "
ecological project
".
This is, in essence, the message that Yannick Jadot wanted to convey on Monday.
Invited on France Info, the environmental candidate for the presidential election of 2022 did not want to dwell on a possible rallying of the socialist Anne Hidalgo.
Criticizing, at the same time, the five-year term of François Hollande for his "
little ecological commitment
".

“
I see that there were still serious limits.
The socialist government has finished with the Labor laws.
(...) It seemed to me that it was rather a conservative social revolution than a progressive social revolution
”, first denounced Yannick Jadot.
Asked several times about a desire for union with the mayor PS of Paris, the candidate assured that "
the question is not with Hidalgo or without Hidalgo
".
“
The question is with the French or without the French.
My project is aimed at French women and men
, ”he continued.
"I reached out last spring"
On the latest economic proposal from the Parisian councilor, who wants to lower VAT on fuel to 5.5%, the ecologist also wanted to show his differences.
"
When we lower taxes for everyone, it is not called a social measure,
" he criticized.
"
I prefer that we have really social measures, redistribution measures
," he said, referring to an energy check of 400 euros for the 5.8 million families in greatest difficulty.

At this stage, an understanding between the two camps therefore seems to be in bad shape. “
I reached out last spring to the whole left. They came, after there are some who came pretending to come,
”slipped the suitor. While specifying that his hand "
remains extended to all progressives, to all humanists
". Still, Yannick Jadot will not step aside in favor of another candidacy, as he had done in 2017 to rally Benoît Hamon. This time, "
ecology has a big project
" behind which "
the progressives
" can line up.
"
The Socialists (...), let them look at our project.
I hear them discussing among themselves, but that's not my subject.
The Socialist Party has a great history, I do not dispute it.
Well done !
Congratulation !
Me, I am an environmentalist, and I think that today it is the ecological project which allows us to offer a future to our children
”, he concluded.
