“The sorority, remember that?” Sandrine Rousseau criticized after her parachuting in the legislative elections

The defeated candidate of the environmentalist primary will present herself in the 13th arrondissement of Paris for the legislative elections. She ousts the activist Claire Monod, who accuses her of doing “good old politics à la papa”. Like an air of the old world. Europe-Ecology-The Greens validated the candidacy of Sandrine Rousseau in Paris for the legislative elections in the 13th arrondissement, to the chagrin of certain members of the party, who reproach her for her attitude. “The problem is that her criticism of the old political practices has turned out to be in total contradiction with her actions (…) It is insincerity, good old politics à la papa (…) When she chooses to impose herself where a woman has been working in a territory for ten years, that leads me to say to her ‘sorority, do you remember it?'”, launches Claire Monod, a member of Yannick Jadot’s team, in the columns of Marianne .A winnable constituency If this activist is unknown to the general public, she was the party’s candidate in 2017 in this southern Parisian district. This architect by profession also won the two recent internal consultations for which activists were invited to nominate their candidate. But the party took another decision on March 20, deciding to finally grant this constituency, deemed winnable, to Sandrine Rousseau . The pill goes all the worse since the latter has spent her entire career as a local elected official and works in Lille. While she had considered going to the legislative elections in her city for a time, the economist finally backpedaled. No way for her to face Ugo Bernalicis or Adrien Quatennens, two well-established rebellious France deputies. In addition to the risk of losing, Sandrine Rousseau did not want to get angry with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, with whom she has good relations. Evicted from the campaign Another option for a time on the table: La Rochelle, where she spent part of his childhood. But beating the deputy Olivier Falorni, who had managed to win against Ségolène Royal in 2012, seemed too complicated to him, as reported by Liberation. The choice of this parachuting in the capital is all the more surprising since Sandrine Rousseau was excluded from Yannick Jadot’s campaign for unkind remarks at the beginning of March. “Our great political strategists are just useless! I’m going crazy! They plant themselves on everything. It’s a mess (…) Zemmour or Macron impose a story. We , we sell boilers!”, she protested during a lunch reported by Le Parisien. Sandrine Rousseau “hypnotizes, paralyzes, terrorizes” To justify this reversal of the situation, Claire Monod advances a vitriolic explanation. She hypnotizes, paralyzes, terrorizes. If she is doing so well, it is because she has created immense confusion in the party and many are afraid to speak, in particular for fear of being accused of sexime”, judges the environmental activist with M arianne. On the side of Sandrine Rousseau, we assume. “From September, my three children will be in Paris and my husband works there”, she justifies herself to Liberation. Taking the lead of the party next winter economist also explains that he wants to beat “an outgoing macronist”, MP Buon Tan. In the event of victory, Sandrine Rousseau could well target the leadership of the environmental party at the next congress next winter. left. What happened between the two rounds of the primaries, that is to say the reversal against me of the executives of EELV, will leave traces. Both within the party and among the sympathizers, many of whom say they are revolted”, further advanced the policy to Parisian last fall.
