Like a gap between the climate emergency and an almost static campaign.
Less than three months before the presidential election, the environmental candidate, Yannick Jadot, is not taking off.
Invited to France Inter on Tuesday January 25, the pretender to the Élysée however finds an explanation.
In his eyes, society is still walled in "
collective denial
" about global warming, but the theme will sooner or later impose itself in the ballot.

A few months ago, ecology was nevertheless foreseen as one of the main themes of this electoral deadline.
And Yannick Jadot, appointed by his party's primary in September, seemed to be the new spokesperson.
But some 75 days before the first round, the candidate is leveling off around 7% of voting intentions, surrounded by a number of left-wing contenders.
"The French are not in yet"
No worries though.
According to him, "
there is undoubtedly a collective denial in society around the reality of the ecological disaster
", and this disaster "
will change all of our societies
".
So much so that dealing with it is "
something extremely heavy to bear, including individually
".
His campaign then comes into play, which consists “
both of dramatizing the 2022 deadline (because) we can no longer be in the status quo
” but also of being “
in a form of enthusiasm around the response
”.
“
It is absolutely necessary to gather
”, he insisted.

"
The French are not yet (in)
", he assured.
And the climate emergency will eventually take over.
"
You will see that at some point, the essential will prevail, and the essential is both this ecology that I am carrying, and this social justice project
", thus continued the candidate, convinced that the “
drives for life
” and “
fraternity
” will emanate from his side.
