A meeting?
No.
A "
forum of possibilities
".
Yannick Jadot organized this Saturday, December 11, his first public event of his presidential campaign in Laon, in his native region, Picardy.
400 people were gathered to listen to the long speech of the environmental candidate, who once again closed the door to a primary of the left while calling for the rally.

With our special correspondent in Laon,
Anthony Lattier
In his native region, Yannick Jadot came to talk about him.
It is not his strong point, but he tries it out: “
And it is there that my parents transmitted to me the love of trees and birds.
The intense pleasure of seeing a horde of deer and hinds pass deep in the forest.
"
Surrounded by a few hundred people seated on wooden boxes, Yannick Jadot splits - a little - the armor.
And lifts his sword against the extreme right: “
Our France, dear friends, is not that of the anti-Dreyfusards, it is not that of the collaborators and the OAS.
This France of defeat whose motto is
: racism, anti-Semitism and revisionism.

"I held out my hand"
The left is threatened with collapse.
But the socialist Anne Hidalgo will not have the primary that she calls for: "
It is therefore around the ideas and the ecological project for France, for the Republic, that we must meet.
I have extended my hand, and I am convinced that we will find the means of the rally.
"
A long and sluggish first campaign speech.
Yannick Jadot calls on progressives to join the house of ecology.
As often on the left, it is the rally yes, but behind me.
