Europe Ecologie-Les Verts begins to put in place after Julien Bayou, who resigned Monday from his post of national secretary.
The party will thus be led collectively by the two deputy national secretaries, Léa Balage El Mariky and Jérémie Crépel, until the congress.
“The executive office has acted on a principle of collegial management […] until the designation of a new direction at the next Federal Congress” of the environmentalist party, announced the executive office, which met Tuesday afternoon.
A congress is scheduled for December to renew the management of EELV.
Cyrielle Châtelain alone at the head of the Green deputies
Julien Bayou has announced that he is resigning from his post to be able to defend himself against accusations of psychological violence against his ex-girlfriend, which he denies.
He also left his post as co-president of the EELV group in the Assembly, but remains a deputy.
Cyrielle Châtelain, who co-chaired the group of eco-deputies, now chairs it alone.
“We are living in a special moment,” explained Léa Balage.
“I am thinking of the activists who have experienced a phase of amazement” in recent weeks with the developments in the Bayou affair.
“We must now be able to have a more peaceful situation” and “a functional direction”, she explained.
Marine Tondelier, elected EELV of Hénin-Beaumont, is approached to seek the leadership of the party in December.
She for her part indicated that she gave “all her support” to Léa Balage and Jérémie Crépel.
“We have already experienced moments of great tension.
We are used in these moments to stick together and face it, ”she added.
