Yannick Jadot has a good heart against bad luck.
Not rebellious at heart, the ex-ecologist presidential candidate still plays the game of the New Popular Union.
Invited on Friday morning on France Info, two days before the second round of the legislative elections, the MEP called for a vote
"for the candidates of this coalition",
specifying:
"even if we are not Mélenchonistes"
.
He recognizes himself in this profile.
The ecologist claims to maintain his differences with the ex-candidate of LFI, in particular his position vis-à-vis Russia.
“It remains a subject of disagreement
,” he explained.

“He interested the part”
Dryly eliminated in the first round of the presidential election (4.63%), collateral victim of the "useful vote" for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Yannick Jadot praised
"the communication strategy"
of the Insoumis and its slogan
"Elect me first minister"
.
"It does not correspond to me completely because I am a parliamentarist and I want us to talk about the majority in the National Assembly rather than a single person
," he explained.
Before adding:
"Let us collectively recognize that in a certain way, he interested the party, dramatized the stake of the legislative ones which could have completely passed to the ace".
“This personalization strategy has created a tension, a challenge. Everyone is interested in the legislative elections, at least more than what was expected
, ”he insisted.
Yannick Jadot, however, wanted to recall that the main issue of the second round on Sunday was
“the election of deputies who will put absolute emergencies at the heart of the debate: the climate, social justice, democracy”
.
