David Belliard, deputy Europe Ecologie-Les Verts (EELV) at the City of Paris, called Friday February 5 for a primary “Green” extended, among others, to the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo (Socialist Party, PS), in order to avoid a duel between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen in the second round of the 2022 presidential election.
“Me, I am not at all satisfied with having in the second round of the 2022 election a choice, or rather a non-choice, between Emmanuel Macron on one side and Marine Le Pen on the other, with a risk , this time, to see Marine Le Pen come to power ”, declared the elected Parisian on Sud Radio.
“What I want is that we have a candidate who represents the camp of environmentalists, progressives, humanists. For that, you have to choose “, he continued, calling for “Expanded[r] “ the “Primary of the ecological pole”. “Let’s do a primary where a candidate like Anne Hidalgo can compete so that we can, we who find ourselves in these values, choose the one who will represent us. “
See you in September
EELV MEP Yannick Jadot is best placed for this, said Mr. Belliard, for whom “The demand, the hope are rather located around political ecology because we are proposing a new model for the future, and in particular for our youngest”.
Mr. Jadot announced in mid-January the creation of “2022, ecology”, a “Platform of ideas” online presidential oriented. However, the MEP is still not officially a candidate for the EELV primary, scheduled for September.
