The former presidential candidate also assured that he had no "hidden agenda" and that he did not want to make this post a springboard for the municipal election in Paris.


Former EELV presidential candidate Yannick Jadot announced Thursday to the daily

Le Parisien

that he will be a candidate for the senatorial elections in Paris next September.

"I will be a candidate for the senatorial of Paris"

, declares the MEP, affirming to have

"decided to invest more in national politics by strengthening the environmental group in the Senate which is fighting on renewable energies, the constitutionalization of the 'abortion, and obtains victories'.

“When I see how Macron and his government are in denial about the climate emergency, I want to put my energy into improving national policies to improve the lives of French people

,” he argues.

No “hidden agenda”

The former presidential candidate (4.6%) would like

"national policies to better integrate the problems of the Parisian territory: public transport which is in a situation of chaos, housing, the adaptation of the city to the climate deregulation...".

He claims to have

"no hidden agenda"

and does not want to make this post a springboard for the municipal in Paris or the regional ones.

Asked about the possibility of a common Nupes candidate for the 2027 presidential election, he underlines that

“the lesson of 2022 is that we will need a candidate from environmentalists and the left. »

.

But

“it is in the Senate that I want to act”

, he specifies.

Absent on Thursday from the launch of the Estates General of Ecology by his party EELV, due to the speech of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the European Parliament, he claims to support the

“courageous and essential approach of openness”

of the new national secretary Marine Tondelier.

“To have suffered enough during the presidential election, it is obvious that we do not yet have sufficiently powerful tools to relay our message, our mobilizations, our proposals and to convince more widely”

, he recognizes.
