What will the People’s Primary be used for?
The 470,000 registered in the Popular Primary will be able to choose from among seven candidates: Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Yannick Jadot and Anne Hidalgo are among them despite themselves, three other candidates are little known to the general public and the former minister Christiane Taubira assumes and claims the legitimacy of this procedure. What will this unprecedented consultation in France be used for? Will it help generate momentum for the left or simply add a new candidate to an already crumbled left?
Should I lower the speed on the highway?
Yannick Jadot suggests reducing speed on motorways to reduce polluting emissions and fight against global warming. “Should we go from 130 to 120 km/h? That’s the right question”, estimated the environmental candidate for the 2022 presidential election. An idea that is not necessarily popular if we remember the speed limit of 80 km / h on certain roads. Can this measure relaunch the campaign of the candidate EELV or relaunch the idea of a punitive ecology?
