Yannick Jadot regretted that "not a representative of the government, of the macronie, nor the spokesperson, nor any minister has agreed to come and debate", with him in the France 2 program "Elysée 2022".
"Why? because they have no record, they have done nothing on ecology, on the end of cage farming, on the end of glyphosate. The Marshall plan on the renovation (of housing, editor's note) , Emmanuel Macron did not do it”, he hammered.
"This government has not phased out pesticides, has not supported organic farming and food," he added.
According to him, "Macron is climate action in 2040, I am tomorrow".
"This president, twice condemned for climate inaction by the French courts, is hiding in this pre-campaign, he is fleeing, because he is the president of the lobbies", he denounced while Emmanuel Macron did not still not formalized his candidacy for the presidential election of April 10 and 24.
“It is time for the debate to open up on its record on ecology,” he continued, also regretting that the government is letting Total “destroy the climate rather than redirecting it, with all its intelligence, towards the renewable energy".
On transport, he assured that he planned "no increase in gasoline or the carbon tax".

He also announced that he wanted to set up "a climate freedom pass", which will allow young people aged 16 to 25 to travel unlimited by TGV, TER, public transport, self-service bicycles everywhere in France "with a only single card".
He reiterated his promise to ban hunting on weekends and during school holidays, and offered to double the price of the hunting permit.
In terms of energy, he defended wind power, but does not want "to force through".
"I prefer a system where we define the zones", "with the agreement of the populations", and "with French companies".
He reiterated his wish to gradually phase out nuclear power over the next 20 to 25 years.
He said he wanted "in every village, every neighborhood, a renewable energy project", "so that this energy is citizen energy".
He also discussed immigration with Jordan Bardella, the acting president of the National Rally, defending "a real migration policy of dignity, organization and control of flows as well as reception".
"The vision you have is the vision of a station hall, a gigantic squat. Today, everyone enters our country, no one leaves," denounced Jordan Bardella.
"You are doing the short ladder to all your dictator friends around the world", replied Yannick Jadot, also denouncing the anti-Semitism which, according to him, is progressing on the far right: "the RN and Reconquête are playing to count who has the most Nazis at home".

Finally he recognized "a single error" in his campaign: the fact of having put on a tie, a choice he had made so that we would stop talking to him about it.
"In the end, they talk to me about it even more".
