Sandrine Rousseau, ecologist deputy from Paris, elected under the Nupes label, was the guest of “8:30 a.m. franceinfo” this Friday, July 1. Entry of environmentalists into the government, accusations against Damien Abad and Eric Coquerel… She answered questions from Marc Fauvelle and Sahlia Braklia.
Environmentalists in government?
While Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has been instructed by President Emmanuel Macron to set up a “action government” for the beginning of July. A government that should bring together political figures from different sides. According to Sandrine Rousseau, ecologists are more “useful” in opposition to Emmanuel Macron because he “does not understand the ecological issue”. And she warns her former presidential opponent Yannick Jadot: “The job can be interesting, but be careful what you’re selling your soul for!”
Accusations of sexual violence against Damien Abad and Eric Coquerel
For Sandrine Rousseau, Damien Abad should be removed from the government until an investigation is carried out by “an independent body” : “The presumption of innocence does not prevent the precautionary principle: after Me Too, we have the impression that women’s words still do not count”, she laments. Asked about the accusations against Eric Coquerel, Sandrine Rousseau claims to have “searched, made phone calls”but did not receive “no testimony”. “That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, but as long as we don’t have direct testimonies, what can we do?”she explains.
