Sandrine Rousseau no longer wants to do politics “in Ku Klux Klan groups” – The HuffPost

POLITICS – This is an outing that will probably not help his relations with the EELV staff. Sandrine Rousseauexcluded from Yannick Jadot’s campaign on the altar of loyalty, was in Toulouse on the evening of Saturday March 5 to take part in a debate on the place of women in the neighbourhoods.

The opportunity for her to explain her conception of eco-feminism and to talk about a political world that must be more inclusive. Even if it means using a formula that is surprising to say the least.

″It depresses me to do politics in groups in the Ku Klux Klan”, she thus launched to her audience, according to the story on the spot, of The Midi Dispatch. A reference to this terrorist secret society founded in the United States in the 19th century and based on the racist ideology of white supremacism. And to add: “I want to do politics with faces of all colors.”

A spade directly addressed to his former – or current – traveling companions? If Sandrine Rousseau takes care not to quote anyone, not sure that such a comparison is likely to mend the distended links with her formation Europe Écologie-Les Verts. The only political party she has signed up for so far.

The “other campaigns” of Sandrine Rousseau

It must be said that nothing goes between the unfortunate candidate for the EELV primary and Yannick Jadot. The presidential candidate assumed on Friday that he had “made the decision of discipline” by removing the president from his political campaign council. “You know very well that Sandrine Rousseau, for weeks, since the primary, has been leading other campaigns than the presidential campaign”, he estimated on Public Sénat, taking note of “yet again positions which are not ” his.

The day before, remarks attributed to the eco-feminist in the columns of Parisian had finished completing the breakup. “Our great political strategists (at EELV, Editor’s note) are just rubbish! I’m going crazy! They crash on everything … It’s a mess”, she would have launched in particular to several journalists in an indictment in good standing of the campaign of her camp.

The proof, according to the main interested party, that Sandrine Rousseau is looking elsewhere. “We hear that she wants to conquer the party,” he said, still on the parliamentary channel, without confirming the intentions of his former opponent, who is also eyeing the legislative elections in Paris. “I would like a political caste that speaks on behalf of everyone,” she replied on Saturday, from a distance, without going into detail about her future ambitions. Whatever they are, Sandrine Rousseau has planned to continue to play her own little music.
