Ségolène Royal is no longer a mystery of her presidential ambitions. Interviewed by Le Figaro on Monday, the former minister pleaded for a union of the Greens and the Left by 2022, the only way to win the election, according to her.

After the victory of several alliances of the left with environmentalists during the second round of municipal elections, Ségolène Royal proposes to adapt the formula for the next presidential election. For her, such an alliance is "essential" because "we can only win the presidential election in the unity of the whole left and environmentalists," she said.

"The most ecological of socialists"

"Each time the left and environmentalists are united, they win the elections, but each time they are disunited, there is no victory," she continued. She recommends the formula: PS candidate in the first round and alliance with the green in the second.

But who could embody this alliance? Ségolène Royal has a little idea ... The future candidate will be "maybe a socialist environmentalist", he started, while recalling that she has already been called "the most ecological of socialists". For those for whom this message was not clear enough, she added, “I am ready to fight this battle if the time comes when we are able to come together. "
