Former Green presidential candidate Yannick Jadot and several hundred EELV executives and activists call, on a platform in the Sunday newspaperto “refound” his party in a formation “more open to associative movements” and to the “ecological class” of society.
The ecologists organize their summer days in Grenoble from Thursday to Saturday, under the banner of the December congress.
Marine Tondelier, initiator of the internal collective “La Suite”, and who could run for the succession of the national secretary Julien Bayou, points out in the gallery that on climate change, “being right before others does not give us any rights and will never be enough to impose us as an electoral or social test”.
There is “an ecological class”
The candidate of the Greens, Yannick Jadot, gathered 4.6% of the presidential vote in April, far from the first left-wing candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon, forcing EELV to line up behind the latter within the New Popular Union Ecological and Social (Nupes).
“We want Europe Ecology The Greens to rebuild itself, with its partners in the environmental pole (such as Generations and Generation Ecology, editor’s note) and all those who want it”, writes Marine Tondelier, assisted by the former head of the list to the Europeans of Generation Ecology Dominique Bourg, the mayor of Poitiers Léonore Moncond’huy and the former deputy and mathematician Cédric Villani.
There is an “ecological class”, “much larger than the encartée community” among the Greens, estimates the municipal councilor of Hénin-Beaumont in Pas-de-Calais: “parents and grandparents concerned about their children”, “peasants crushed by industry agricultural model” or “entrepreneurs aware of the limits of the planet”.
Towards the decrease
The line of the movement that he wants to see born would be in favor of “degrowth” and in “opposition to capitalism or economic neoliberalism, productivism and nationalism, destroyers of life and solidarity”, specifies Marine Tondelier.
Among the signatories of the platform are the mayors of Grenoble Eric Piolle and Strasbourg Jeanne Barseghian, the former presidential candidate Noël Mamère, the former number 1 of the David Cormand party, the deputy Générations Sébastien Peytavie or the president of the environmental group in the Senate Guillermo Gontard.
If she were to run at the head of the party, Marine Tondelier could notably take on the primary finalist, the “ecofeminist” Sandrine Rousseau. Also in an interview with JDD, Yannick Jadot also says that he wants “an ecological list for Europeans” self-employed Nupes. “Our differences with La France insoumise justify this autonomy,” he pleads.
