He is not happy and he makes it known. Former environmental MEP Daniel Cohn-Bendit, close to Emmanuel Macron, criticizes in an interview with the Journal du dimanche the LREM alliance strategy which favored mergers with the right rather than with the Greens for the second round of the municipal. Daniel Cohn-Bendit also calls on Emmanuel Macron to "take back the heart of what the citizens' convention" formulates for the climate, which must submit its work on Sunday.
According to him, the head of state "must submit to a referendum the reform of the Constitution to integrate an ecological component, as well as the reduction of speed on highways and a large number of proposals that would confirm an ecological and democratic renovation" . Regarding municipal elections, Daniel Cohn-Bendit considers that "it's really silly" on the part of LREM "to build an anti-ecological rampart, to walk hand in hand with the conservative right and with old-fashioned people, like Gérard Collomb, that are politically finished. "
"It's stupid, it's useless and it's counterproductive"
The June 28 poll promises to be particularly complicated for La République en Marche, which has forged alliances with the right in several major cities, such as Lyon, Bordeaux and Strasbourg, hitting the left wing of the presidential party, already under strain. during this quinquennium. "It's stupid, it's useless and it's counterproductive (...) Wherever environmentalists are in a position to take the town hall, I would vote green," says Daniel Cohn-Bendit, who exchanges regularly with Emmanuel Macron.
He also scratches EELV MEP Yannick Jadot who “is afraid of his shadow” according to him, knowing that he “would immediately be treated as a traitor by his friends” if he “collaborated with Emmanuel Macron on specific points to make advance the ecological transition ”.
Several voices in the majority, including the Minister of Ecological Transition Elisabeth Borne, urged Emmanuel Macron to organize a referendum on the ecological question. The Head of State is due to receive the 150 members of the Citizens' Climate Convention on Monday June 29 at the Elysée Palace "in order to provide a first response to their proposals".
