“There are a lot of fears and weariness about our social project.

The French must be able to decide, ”he said.

“We will do everything to ensure that our ideas are exposed and understood.

He wants to go back to nuclear power, an even more productive agriculture, more GMOs and fewer peasants”.

“Structural and cyclical responses”

"Our environmental project provides structural and cyclical responses, especially in the historic moment that we are living, with climate chaos, the energy war, all these brutal crises", he defended.

The ecologist met "the Assembly of possibilities", about thirty citizens distant from politics who sent him their proposals for democracy, some of which will be taken up by the candidate.

For example, he "greatly liked" "the idea that there could be one week of commitment per year", for employees who would like to get involved in an association or a particular action and "which would be supported by the reduction of working time and by the State”.

Yannick Jadot also felt that "volunteer status" was needed.

“There must be some form of remuneration, why not in the form of quarters upon retirement, to recognize that civic engagement serves society”.

The candidate also mentioned the idea of ​​a “1% of citizen democracy”, that is to say “1% of all funding for political life (campaign, elected officials, etc.) which would go to associations working on bills or counter-bills”.
