End of the suspense among the Greens.
Yannick Jadot won the second round of the environmentalist primary on Tuesday with 51.03% of the vote.
Yannick Jadot faced Sandrine Rousseau in this duel between the Greens which will have consequences for the entire left in the 2022 presidential election.
More than 122,000 people voted to decide between the two finalists in the primary.
Leading the first round with 27.7% of the vote, Yannick Jadot, considered the favorite, was slightly ahead of Sandrine Rousseau (25.14% of the vote).
The latter had created the surprise by qualifying to the detriment of the former minister Delphine Batho (22.32%), champion of "degrowth", and the mayor of Grenoble Eric Piolle (22.29%), who defended a "Humanist arc" able to bring together all the forces of the left.
A primary scrutinized by all the left
Neither of the two unfortunate challengers gave an instruction to vote for the second round.
Only the entrepreneur Jean-Marc Governatori, dead last in the first round (2.35%), called to vote for Yannick Jadot.
The two finalists differ in particular on how to bring ecology to power.
Taking a pragmatic line, Yannick Jadot puts forward an ecology of “gathering” and “government”.
Opposite, Sandrine Rousseau defended "radicalism" and an ecology "which transforms production models, leaves productivism, of the consumer society".
The result is particularly scrutinized on the left.
Particularly within the Socialist Party and France Insoumise who each hope to attract the disappointed with the primary.
