The union of the left “will not happen”, regretted the ecologist, who nevertheless calls on left-wing voters not to fall into abstention.
“It’s one more candidacy on the left, and I think we didn’t need it”, estimated Sandrine Rousseau, president of the political council of Yannick Jadot’s campaign, this Sunday on franceinfo, about the candidacy of Christiane Taubira for the presidency.
“She is a woman whose fights I respect enormously, and I would very much like her to join Yannick Jadot’s dynamic., she added. We have a major challenge facing us, which is to radically change our way of consuming and producing, to avoid disruption to the extent to which it is expected. There, we are dispersing”, lamented Sandrine Rousseau.
If the left had “a team made up of Yannick Jadot, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Christiane Taubira, we could go against the French in a united way, and offer a fighting left, but that is not done”, pointed to the finalist of the environmental primary. According to her, the union of the left “will not happen because there are several candidates on the left who do not want it”.

To voters who would try to abstain next April, she replies: “The situation may not be satisfactory today in the eyes of left-wing voters, but we still have to go, abstention is not a solution.”
