Death of Nahel in Nanterre: Macron must “take action”

Yannick Jadot expects Emmanuel Macron to “take action” And “not just that he comments” after another night of urban violence, which follows the death of Nahel, Tuesday June 27 in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine). “Firstment, there is a request from the family that the case be out of place”. In other words, that it not be treated “by the Nanterre public prosecutor’s office which, a little too easily, immediately, had taken over the police’s theses”.

“It is also necessary that the General Inspectorate of the National Police [IGPN] no longer comes under the Ministry of the Interior”advocates the former presidential candidate. “It must become independent, and it must be the responsibility of the Defender of Rights so that we have, and that the families have the feeling that this investigation will be completely impartial, transparent and will go all the way”he explains. “This is what I have always proposed, and what environmentalists have proposed”he assures.

Death of Nahel in Nanterre: Alliance “openly flirts with the far right”

A union that “openly flirts with the far right”. Yannick Jadot instructs Alliance, “present in all police stations”. “There is undeniably the desire for Americanization” of the police, in the sense that “the police want to get out of the republican framework of maintaining order and do justice themselves”. A dynamic “including carried by the Alliance union”he says.

Yannick Jadot does not stop there. “You have police officers who say ‘I cannot complain about the racist behavior of a colleague to my hierarchy, because I know that in this hierarchy, there is the Alliance union which will make me go find themselves in professional difficulty”, he assures. By the way, he also attacks Gérald Darmanin. According to him, Alliance “defines” her “position”.

Nuclear: “And why not EPRs next to Notre-Dame?”

“And why not install EPRs next to Notre-Dame de Paris”ironically MEP Yannick Jadot, while Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday considered installing an EPR nuclear reactor in the Marseille-Fos basin to meet the additional energy needs of the port of Marseille.

In February 2022, the Head of State set the objective of building six new next-generation nuclear reactors EPR2, in existing power plants. “There is not one that works in the world, it’s a disaster”, scoffs the environmentalist. Yannick Jadot also pointed to the multiple delays concerning the Flamanville EPR, under construction since 2007, whose commissioning is now scheduled for 2024, 12 years late. “The president tells us ‘we are going to put EPRs, we are almost going to put them in town and in 2040-2045, we will start to solve the climate problem’, it is irresponsible”he berates. “It’s totally amazing that a president says ‘why not make a nuclear reactor here'”he adds.

Strike at the JDD: Bolloré “does not care about profitability”, and wants to make “far-right propaganda”

The editorial staff of the JDD again voted almost unanimously on Thursday to continue the strike to challenge the appointment of far-right journalist Geoffroy Lejeune as its head, a week after the start of the movement, announced its Society of Journalists. (LDS). “The problem is that you have a billionaire who today is gradually taking over different media, not to do information, but to do far-right propaganda”reacts Yannick Jadot. “Bolloré doesn’t give a damn about profitability”, he believes. For the former environmentalist presidential candidate,
“We must protect the editorial staff”, “editorial companies must be able to co-decide who will lead the editorial staff”.
