Yannick Jadot calls for a "
leap of conscience
" before the first round of the French presidential election on Sunday.
In front of around 500 people in Nantes, the environmental candidate held a final meeting under the naves of former naval workshops.
Objective: to convince the undecided to vote for him … and not for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the rebellious candidate who dreams of siphoning him votes to reach the second round.

“
So friends!
The question: who to vote for on Sunday?
In Nantes, Jadot defends the "
vote of conviction
", rather than the Mélenchon vote.
If Yannick Jadot asks the question himself, it is because he knows that many left-wing voters ask themselves the question.
This is what he replies to them:
The environmental bulletin is not a bulletin every five years to please.
The Green ballot is still an effective vote.
Always a building vote
Yannick Jadot returns to his fundamentals: the fight against global warming.
The IPCC tells us: we have three years to overturn the table.
Well, when you're three years old, you don't leave Emmanuel Macron still in power, because it will be a five-year period of climate inaction, we know that.
"
Later, it will be too late
," adds the environmentalist candidate.
“
It's Sunday, I call with you for a wake-up call!

When you fight politically, when you are an environmentalist, when you have won, after having fought so hard, against Notre-Dame-Des-Landes airport;
when in this region, we won, after having fought so hard, against nuclear power;
when we won, after struggling, and fighting so hard, against GMOs;
when we won, after having fought so hard, against shale gas;
and well that's it, vote ecologist!
"When we won, after having fought so hard": Jadot's anaphora
