On January 19, the European Parliament in Strasbourg will be like the forefront of a strictly Franco-French political theater. According to our information, Yannick Jadot, MEP and ecological presidential candidate, will respond to Emmanuel Macron, presumed candidate and come, as the new president of the Council of the European Union, to present his project to the deputies of the 27 member states. "Yannick Jadot will speak on behalf of the Group of the Greens / European Free Alliance in the European Parliament," confirms Delphine Batho, one of his spokespersons. He will unveil a real counter-project to Emmanuel Macron. This is all the more essential given that Europe has officially just considered gas and nuclear power as green energies! "
Another initiative: as a candidate, this time, Yannick Jadot will participate, the same day, in the Alsatian capital, in a "forum of possibilities" - a public meeting the first of which took place on December 11 in Laon (Aisne). - in the presence of MEPs.
Jadot wants to broaden the European recovery plan
Even if the Head of State and environmentalists are staunch defenders of European construction - some Greens even being in favor of a federalist Europe - the two men do not share the same views on all subjects.
On nuclear power, for example, now considered by Emmanuel Macron as carbon-free energy that should not be abandoned, but not only ...
Yannick Jadot will also insist on the need to broaden the European Green New Deal stimulus plan, endowed with 750 billion euros, by increasing it to 2,000 billion.
An amount equivalent to that of the American Green New Deal, carried by President Joe Biden.
The candidate for the Elysee should also insist on the fact that for environmentalists, the European project is a "real project of civilization".
