In an interview with the JDD , EELV MEP Yannick Jadot said that his party was "the real alternative" to the National Rally. One week before the municipal elections, he mentioned Strasbourg, Besançon and Rouen among the cities that environmentalists can take.
"Today, we have a damaged country, in a situation of democratic and social burnout", affirms Yannick Jadot, estimating that "the decay of macronism has become the footstool of the extreme right" and that "the arrogant verticality and technocratic power sags our democracy. " "We are the real alternative to RN: a vote of the heart against a vote of fear, a vote of solutions against a vote of demagoguery, a vote of hope against a vote of resignation," he said. In Perpignan, "we are fighting an essential fight against the extreme right," he adds.
“A rallying dynamic”
In the cities where EELV presents itself "you have to get high in the first round to create an even wider rallying dynamic", believes Yannick Jadot. Asked about the cities that environmentalists could win, the MEP stressed that "Strasbourg, Besançon, Rouen are often cited". "We are good" also "in Villeurbanne, in Lyon, in Nîmes", he had declared Friday to Agence France-Presse (AFP) before a meeting in Rennes. "We will anyway make a good score in Rennes and Nantes", he added, hammering that "in Paris as in Nantes or Rennes, the useful vote, it remains the ecological vote".
"In Paris, the polls are a little less favorable" but "the socialist candidate does not claim to be socialist, she claims to be an environmentalist" and "it's already a half-victory," he added. However, "we learned to have a lot of perspective compared to the polls", he had affirmed, recalling that in the European elections "two hours before" the announcement of the results, "in the polls we were at 8%" and "we made 13.5".
"The next step is to bring together the progressives and the humanists", especially on the left, says Yannick Jadot in his interview. But "we must also welcome those, wherever they come from" who "defend social justice, the Republic and Europe", because "some believed in the benevolence of macronism, and they are today" disappointed today ”.
