The counter-proposal is on the table.
If he sharply refused the idea of Anne Hidalgo for a primary of the left, Yannick Jadot submits another solution to his socialist competitor: the keys of Matignon in case of victory.
Invited on BFM TV Tuesday evening, the ecologist indicated - although after several reminders - that
"obviously"
the mayor of Paris
"could be prime minister"
, while the distance of a few points in the polls.
The two candidates, however, remain under the bar of 10% of voting intentions (between 3 and 6% for Anne Hidalgo, between 6 and 9% for Yannick Jadot).
To discover
Presidential 2022: where are the candidates in the polls?
"Government contract"
MEP EELV, however, clarified that he did not want to
"form
(a)
government on December 14"
when the French
"barely entered the presidential campaign"
. Be that as it may, the environmental candidate has reiterated his desire to
"work with the socialists and all the progressives"
.
“Come with your ideas, with your story, with your proposals. Let's work on a common project, on a government contract,
let's
work on the substance, ”
he suggested to them, in the same vein as his speech in Laon last Saturday.
It remains to be seen whether the Socialists will accept the outstretched hand. Yannick Jadot once again assured this Tuesday evening that the withdrawal of his candidacy for a hypothetical primary was not an
"option"
given
"the climatic issues, the living and
(the)
social justice"
. Before recalling, with good understanding, that he himself had withdrawn behind the socialist Benoît Hamon in 2017, better placed than him.
“I hadn't asked for a primary to find a more comfortable exit. I sacrificed my candidacy for the collective. I am not asking for the same, I am asking others to take their responsibilities and do it with panache, ”
he claimed.
And while a last-minute candidacy of Christiane Taubira returns to the discussions on the left, Yannick Jadot wanted to cut it short:
“She is in many respects an exceptional woman, who carries values, but I want an ecological candidacy. .
The question is not (the) people ”
.
By adding:
“I am not going to comment on a rumor that is staged without having the slightest beginning of a project.
It's not serious, ”
he said.
