This is the angle from which Yannick Jadot intends to attack Emmanuel Macron throughout this presidential campaign: ecology, his hobbyhorse. Invited Thursday evening on France 2 of the program “Elysée 2022″, the environmental candidate estimated that the outgoing President of the Republic, not yet declared a candidate, ” hides in this pre-campaign, runs away, because he is the president of the lobbies”. For him, Mr. Macron “did nothing on ecology” during his tenure.
Yannick Jadot stated at the start of the program that “not a single representative of the government, of the macronie, nor the spokesperson, nor any minister, has agreed to come and debate”with him on the set of the show. ” Why ? Because they have no track record, they haven’t done anything on ecology, on the end of cage farming, on the end of glyphosate. The Marshall Plan on renovation [des logements]Emmanuel Macron did not do it”he hammered.
“Macron, it’s climate action in 2040, me, it’s tomorrow”
“This government has not phased out pesticides, has not supported agriculture and organic food”, added the candidate of Europe-Ecology-The Greens. Mr. Jadot thus pointed out what, in his opinion, makes the difference between him and the Head of State: “Macron, it’s climate action in 2040, me, it’s tomorrow”. He also recalled that the State was condemned for climate inaction during Mr. Macron’s five-year term, following the appeal of “the case of the century”.
“It is time for the debate to open on its record on ecology”continued the environmental candidate, also regretting that the government leaves Total “destroy the climate rather than redirect it, with all its intelligence, towards renewable energies”. On transport, he assured that he did not plan “no increase in gasoline or carbon tax”.
He also reiterated his promise to ban hunting on weekends and during school holidays and proposed to double the price of the hunting license, the cost of which had just been halved under the will of the head of the State in 2018. “In many European countries, hunting is prohibited several days a week and things are going very well”he pleaded.
