Sandrine Rousseau was excluded this Thursday from Yannick Jadot’s campaign team for vitriolic remarks on the ecologist’s strategy reported by Le Parisien, the campaign manager announced in a press release.
This article “illustrates his choices to make a personal expression prevail over the collective”, believes Mounir Satouri. “We take note of his decision. Sandrine Rousseau therefore no longer assumes responsibilities within the environmental campaign, ”he adds. “She no longer chairs the political council, she is no longer the candidate’s special adviser,” he said, listing the key positions that the champion of “eco-feminism” occupied on paper.
A more radical line
The relations between the two finalists of the primary of last September have never been harmonious because of a divergence on the political line, Yannick Jadot posing as a defender of a pragmatic ecology and Sandrine Rousseau advocating radicalism.
This incident hits a campaign that has been struggling to take off for many months. The polls currently give Yannick Jadot at between 5 and 6.5% of the voting intentions, far from the second round but also from Jean-Luc Mélenchon, given above 10%.
