Two days before the second round of the legislative elections, the heat wave “should be an electoral argument”estimated the environmental MEP Yannick Jadot, Friday June 17 on franceinfo. “What is at stake, with climate change, are the very conditions of existencehe pointed out.

According to him, it is a “absolute urgency to fight against climate change, to get out of carbon”. Whether “we have fallen behind in our adaptation to climate change” and “we are absolutely not prepared”all is not played, according to him. “We know how to do it, we can do it and for that, we have to change the majority on Sunday”he pleaded.
Yannick Jadot spoke in particular to young people, who massively abstained during the first round. He “hope they will move” sunday. “Our candidates are trying to reach out to this population to say ‘what is at stake is our collective future, but it is above all yours’.”
To highlight the issue, he took several examples. “I was in Brittany yesterday, where we are starting to train the firefighters of Brittany in forest fires”he said in particular.
