Yannick Jadot was enthusiastic and positive this Friday.

It started as soon as he got off the train in Lyon, where the potential presidential candidate took the bus to join the team of Fabienne Grébert and the EELV mayor of Lyon, Grégory Doucet.

Having come to support the EELV candidate in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, he joked to a passer-by: “If Fabienne Grébert wins, I go to the presidential election.

And if she doesn't win, I'll go anyway!

"

"We will have nice surprises on Sunday because we are regularly underestimated by the polls and because the voters will be interested in the candidates who are interested in them", he added, more seriously, strolling in front of the stalls of the Croix-Rousse market (4th arrondissement).

“Everything that we bring as transformations of society, that is carried out especially in the local elections, which affect the daily life of the people and which one does not consider like intermediate elections.

At the regional level, we are not doing a survey for 2022, ”Yannick Jadot confirmed.

THE "rather confident" EELV candidate

In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the polls give the candidate of the Greens neck and neck with the socialist Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, far behind the outgoing president Laurent Wauquiez (LR), the candidate of the RN Andrea Kotarac and that of LREM, the deputy Bruno Bonnell.

“I do not feel that we are going to be sidelined with the PS, I am rather confident.

But if Najat is ahead, I will campaign with her, ”said Fabienne Grébert on Friday morning, while environmentalists and socialists failed to come together in the first round.

Humor at the rendezvous

Coué method?

On the market, the candidate towed by presenting herself as the future president of the region and Yannick Jadot as the future president of the Republic.

Without necessarily convincing the barge.

But the time was above all for jokes: "your strawberries are red, they are not green", launched the MEP to a merchant.

"Are you green?"

So take the salad, ”retorted the person tit for tat.

Environmentalists left with a crate of fruit.
