EELV officials assured on Monday that no party member would enter the government during the reshuffle expected the day after the municipal elections.

As a major reshuffle looms, National Secretary of EELV David Cormand assured on Public Senate that "there will be no EELV in government", arguing that "the center of gravity of the majority today is not ecology, it is not social ".

"Nicolas Hulot has shown how much he has been prevented from acting", recalled Yannick Jadot on Europe 1. "It is not a question of entering a government which governs this country alone", he said. added by calling Emmanuel Mcron to "act" without making "ecological opportunism".

"The question of people is secondary to the question of the" presidential political project which must "accelerate" in terms of ecology, assured for his part on RTL the general delegate of LREM, Stanislas Guerini.

The taking by city hall ecologists of several large cities on Sunday after the second round of municipal elections places them at the heart of the political landscape and could also pave the way for a candidate for union between the Greens and the left parties in 2022 .

The first secretary of the PS, Olivier Faure, also said he was "ready to (stand) behind the one who will incarnate" this block in 2022. But "I don't think it's a return to the plural left" , underlined David Cormand because "the propelling force of these elections is the ecology".
