Presidential election: the left is back in the fog – archyworldys

The left opens the ball of political returns. Arnaud Montebourg’s candidacy for the presidential election? Confirmed, after months of hesitation. The former minister will launch on September 4, reported, Monday August 16 Release, information confirmed by its teams. The primary of environmentalists? Launched, with the start, Thursday, August 19, of the summer days of the environmentalist pole. This boiling, in the middle of summer, does nothing to clarify the picture on the left, at a time when health issues continue to monopolize public opinion.

On the environmental side, Wednesday August 18 still looked like a last day of vacation. In the morning, in Saint-Hilaire-la-Palud (Deux-Sèvres), the European deputy Europe Ecology-Les Verts (EELV) Yannick Jadot, his supporters and journalists sliced ​​by boat through the murky waters of the Marais poitevin, for a visit to the theme of water management, between canals, meadows and old-breed cows. “Welcome to the agricultural fair, but to peasant agriculture! “, launched the candidate when posing in front of the herd of a breeder fighting against the installation of giant water storage basins seen as destructive of ecosystems. A way of bringing ecology to a human face, based on “New contract” with peasants “Nature workers” far from trials in “Agribashing”, and to walk, in passing, on the lands of Delphine Batho, competitor and local MP.

The displacement was also a way of establishing the balance of power, on the eve of the summer days. Mr. Jadot received, in the evening, the support of a thousand elected officials and activists in a call published online for “The choice of ecology which brings together, federates, leads more broadly”. The objective assumed by his team: “Show the amount, strength and volume of supports. “ The program was not so different on the side of Eric Piolle, mayor of Grenoble, long standing ovation by his activists in the afternoon in Poitiers. One thing, however, grieves all the candidates: the participation, which capped for the moment at 15,000 registered, twenty days before the deadline of September 12th. For MEP Mounir Satouri, support of Mr. Jadot, the primary remains open, given the proportion of registered members who are not members, around 50%. The MEP would even like to reach 90,000 voters.
