In the columns of the

"

 We are in the process of setting the agendas

 ".

Interviewed in

Le Journal du dimanche

, Yannick Jadot welcomes this.

A meeting between several leaders of the left is preparing under his aegis.

It will take place "

 within two weeks

 ", assures the ecologist.

Around the table, the whole

galaxy of left-wing

environmentalists, socialists with Anne Hidalgo, communists with Fabien Roussel.

Under pressure, Jean-Luc Mélenchon ended up accepting, even if this Sunday morning on BFM, the rebellious deputy Adrien Quatennens recalls that

Jean-Luc Mélenchon

is already a candidate, and that he already has a program: " 

Obviously we will go to this meeting.

The discussion must take place.

There are among these people, people who do not yet have the shadow of a comma in a program.

But we have a program and we put it on the table and Jean-Luc Mélenchon does not say "take it or leave it"

"

.

The program to try the impossible: to put everyone behind one and the same candidate.

Yannick Jadot proposes a method, a work first on the substance with ten projects: social justice, recovery plan, reform of institutions ... The delicate question of incarnation would come later.

Because everyone on the left knows that the blockage is precisely there. 

By opening these discussions, 

Yannick Jadot

, himself a possible candidate for 2022, is in any case trying to carve out a unifying costume.
