Ecologist primary for 2022: at the Summer Days of Europe Ecology-Les Verts, the Piolle-Jadot duel eclipses l – Franceinfo

The mayor of Grenoble plays the card “close to the field”, that of a normal man. In his speech to activists, Éric Piolle talks about him, sometimes, about his children, about his career. With a calm tone, he admits flaws: “You will never see me setting 10,000 people on fire, giving a bombastic speech lasting an hour and a half. I am not of that charisma. On the other hand, I know that I can work for a long time without sleeping much. I know myself. enough to move forward. “

Piolle, it’s different, it’s more combat. Afterwards, he uses a lot of metaphors. too, says Luc. It’s going to be very hard “ to decide between them, admits however this activist

The three other candidates are also present in front of the public of these Summer Days: the former minister Delphine Batho, the economist Sandrine Rousseau and Jean-Marc Governatori, co-president of Cap Écologie. But the Piolle-Jadot duel already seems to be clearly behind them.
