White smoke among the Greens.
The Federal Council of Europe Ecology the Greens voted Sunday evening for the motion carried by the executive office proposing an agreement with LFI for the legislative elections.
This decision must be ratified in the coming days by the activists.
A first step for the union on the left which must lead to others.
The Socialists and Communists are also about to sign with the Insoumis, final details must be settled on Monday.
The name of the common label is in the meantime already found: “New Popular Ecological and Social Union”.
A hundred ridings for greens
The text of the Greens – which
Le Figaro
was able to consult – recalls in particular:
“The stated objective is to be able to win in the majority of the constituencies and to limit the expected increase in the number of far-right parliamentarians;
and also to thwart the destructive policy of the government of Emmanuel Macron and the deputies of the Republic on the move”
, it is written.
The management of EELV explains that a
“large number of points of convergence”
have
“been recorded”
during the discussions.
Among them: the objective of
"100% renewables",
the reduction of
"65% of greenhouse gases by 2030"
,
"the exit from nuclear power"
or even
"the immediate increase in the Smic and pensions of retirement”
.
On the thorny issue of
“disobedience”
to certain European treaties, spearhead of LFI, environmentalists wanted to warn.
“A possible disobedience of a possible alternative majority would concentrate
(only)
on the budgetary or economic aspects in the perspective of the realization of the program of this majority”
, they made a point of specifying.
While warning that
“this coalition cannot have as its policy either the exit from the Union, or its disintegration, or the end of the single currency”
.
As for the distribution on the territory, the ecologists should be able to present candidacies in a hundred constituencies.
Their national secretary, Julien Bayou, will therefore not be worried in the 5th of the capital (3rd and 10th arrondissements), like the finalist of the primary of the Greens, Sandrine Rousseau, in the 9th (13th arrondissement).
Regarding the upcoming joint campaign, the EELV management team announced that it was
"expected that environmental candidates could adapt the general model to ensure the visibility of ecology"
.
“The front of the profession of faith as well as the official posters will be customizable in the colors of ecology”
, it is specified.
