The EELV presidential candidate Yannick Jadot made a commitment on Monday to appoint a Prime Minister if he is elected and also wants the presidency of the National Assembly to go to a woman.

"I make the commitment to appoint a woman Prime Minister. What I hope is that the presidency of the National Assembly be held by a woman", summed up the MEP on Twitter after making these commitments on Franceinfo .

Asked in this program on the case of Sandrine Rousseau, the beaten finalist of the environmental primary, Yannick Jadot refused to comment on his name.

>> The finalist of the EELV primary, Sandrine Rousseau, is the exceptional guest of Europe 1 on Wednesday from 8:13 a.m.

However, the environmental candidate did not rule out that of Anne Hidalgo, the candidate of the Socialist Party.

On BFMTV Tuesday evening, Yannick Jadot indicated that the mayor of Paris could "obviously" be the Prime Minister.

With this announcement, the EELV presidential standard-bearer takes a step towards rallying the left, without going through the primary proposed by the socialist candidate.

In a recent poll, half of left-wing voters were in favor of a rapprochement between the two political figures.

50% women, 50% men in the National Assembly, promises Jadot

Wishing "to restore our country to a parliamentary system", Yannick Jadot added on Franceinfo that "what seems important to me is that it be a President of the National Assembly, because the real couple who will have to lead our country, it is the Presidency of the Republic and the National Assembly to which the government will be responsible ". "We will do, as in Mexico, as in other 'Latin' countries, what is called exit parity in the National Assembly: it will be elected on a proportional basis, it will be 50% women, 50% women. men in the hemicycle, it's a commitment, "added Yannick Jadot.

Valérie Pécresse for the right, the socialist Anne Hidalgo and the candidate of the National Rally Marine Le Pen, in the running for the third time, aspire to become in 2022 the first woman to accede to the presidency, long after most of the European neighbors.

Only one woman, Edith Cresson, has so far been Prime Minister in France, from May 1991 to April 1992.
