The environmental candidate for the presidential Yannick Jadot once again accused hunters on Sunday "of taking the rest of society hostage", reiterating his intention to ban hunting on weekends and during holidays so that "all the world can access nature".
“We cannot have 900,000 hunters on weekends and during the holidays who take the rest of society hostage,” lamented the candidate, guest of the RTL-LCI-Le Figaro Grand Jury.
Jadot wants to regulate and supervise hunting
"I am not afraid of the debate", he said, promising to "regulate and supervise hunting" if he were elected President of the Republic in order to "share nature", deploring that families cannot walk there on weekends, public holidays and during school holidays.
However, he assured "not to put all hunters in the same basket", acknowledging that some of them were "species-friendly and do not practice cruel hunting".
Asked about the consequences of his weekend hunting ban for hunters who work during the week, Yannick Jadot replied that they "will organize themselves", stressing that "half of the hunters are already retired".
