INTERVIEW
Will the green wave that has shaken municipal governments also shake up Emmanuel Macron's political project? While several major cities fell into the hands of environmentalists on Sunday, and with the approach of a reshuffle that could announce the third act of the quinquennium, it is legitimate to wonder if the one who has long assured to be "neither left nor from the right "could bring into its government members of Europe Ecologie-Les Verts. In any case, one of their main leaders, Yannick Jadot, wanted to sweep this hypothesis on Monday at the microphone of Europe 1.
"Nicolas Hulot has shown how much he has been prevented from acting," he said. "It is not a question of entering a government so that the president of the Republic, who heads this country alone, changes," said the MEP, while Emmanuel Macron's ecological balance sheet is regularly deemed insufficient. "I would not like the president to continue in a form of ecological opportunism. The subject, for the president, it is not to stem the rise of the ecologists [by obtaining a rallying, note ] halting the rise in temperatures is to halt the rise in sea level, it is to halt the rise in inequalities, it is to halt mistrust in our country ", insists Yannick Jadot.

"Ecology is in the process of recomposing the political landscape," said the MEP, following an election which tends to prove that at the local level the greens are capable of aggregating the forces of the lefts. "Three years ago it was Emmanuel Macron who reconstructed the political landscape around his person and a promise, today this landscape is recomposed around a project," he concludes.
