Martin, 19, lives in Toul, Lorraine. During the week, he is in boarding school in Nancy in the preparatory class. He hopes to join the Ecole Normale Supérieure to later become an engineer. If his first concern remains the environment, Martin does not find himself in the program of the ecologists.
“I don’t vote for the ecologists because in my opinion their policy is far too punitive.”

The main sticking point for Martin is nuclear. While the EELV candidate Yannick Jadot has announced that he wants to get out of it, for the future engineer, it would be a mistake: “The solution for clean energy is nuclear. However, it is not the ecologists who defend this cause“.
As a future engineer, “I encourage progress and I want to be part of this revolution that may take place, a revolution that will give objects much more in harmony with the environment“.
“With my schedule, I chose to focus on my studies rather than politics.”

“The closer the presidential election, the more I am interested in it“, says Martin.”It is normal to go and vote knowingly. I want to make an informed choice. For the moment, no candidate seems to me to be the one I want to support as a priority.“
“I don’t find myself in politics too much but I’m still going to vote, I take it seriously.”

For Martin, the political decisions that are taken are not sufficiently linked to science: “Politics is too often disconnected from scientific reality and it makes me lose faith in politics“. Despite this, “I continue to vote despite everything to be sure to stay with a policy which, without being the best in the world, is not the most dangerous for the country in my opinion“.
