“Yannick Piolle”, the slip of the MEP EELV Marie Toussaint, who wants “to build in unity and diversity the path for 2022”

“Yannick Piolle“EELV MEP Marie Toussaint said on Saturday August 22 morning on franceinfo, when citing the possible candidates for the 2022 presidential election, mixing the names of the two favorites Yannick Jadot and Éric Piolle.”But we can have other candidates who also arrive, why not a woman, that would be not bad “. In any case, “I have confidence in our ability to build the path for 2022 in unity and diversity”, says Marie Toussaint.

While the summer days of environmentalists end on Saturday in Pantin (Seine-Saint-Denis), with the final theme “Ecology to win in 2022”, Marie Toussaint recognizes “debates on the date and the method” to choose a candidate. “It could have been good to have our candidate already today”, she believes.

On the method, where Yannick Jadot did not want a primary, but all the same a vote of the militants, Marie Toussaint calls for “to invent, to innovate. As with the citizens’ convention on the climate, an innovative, never-done, never-seen approach ”.

“There are discussions about the strategy, she continues. But everyone wants to build a unifying environmental movement, which can welcome people and parties from different traditions. “ The MEP wants to “create a dynamic, with all social movements and all citizens, who have expressed for two or three years, the wish to be”. “It’s complicated, it’s lace” she admits.

In this “day of overtaking”, she thinks that this dynamic, “we absolutely need it because climate change is accelerating, it is on our territory. We need to move quickly, because the current government is fundamentally anti-environmentalist “.
