From TV sets to the benches of the Assembly? Aymeric Caron, former columnist for Laurent Ruquier, announced to the Parisian (article subscribers)Tuesday, May 3, to be a candidate in the legislative elections, in Paris, under the colors of the New Popular Union. “The REV (Ecological Revolution for the Living), the radical ecology movement that I created four years ago and which I chair, reached an agreement with the People’s Union several months ago”, says the anti-species activist. And to add: “There will be other REV candidates in France.”

Affirming that his desire to be a candidate is recent, Aymeric Caron considers that it is a “fairly logical extension of [s]we travel” : “I went from journalism to committed journalism, then to writing books where I tackle social projects that I want to bring to the legislative level today.”
What are these projects? For the former journalist, “the only possible ecology today is a radical ecology”. It is for this reason that he concluded an agreement with the People’s Union. According to him, she “was the only one to clearly defend an ecology of rupture with productivism, liberalism, by advocating, for example, the green rule according to which we must stop taking more from the planet than it can regenerate”.
