Not easy to find someone to keep a leaflet on the Dax market. “Hello ladies and gentlemen, green people with Jadot, don’t you want to?”, tries dozens of times Gérard Claverie, the representative of Europe Ecologie Les Verts (EELV) in the Landes in the middle of the market, in front of Les Halles. “For us ecologists, the Landes is a land of mission! People are in the middle of nature, in the middle of pines, they do not feel concerned by environmental issues”, he blurts out.
Meanwhile, other activists also roam the market, the stack of leaflets in hand. “A lot of people tell us no, others that they won’t vote. One of them told me that he would vote for Zemmour!”, explains the sorry air Laurence Motoman, regional councilor EELV of the Landes. “People are really not very talkative at the moment but I still spoke with a farmer, and a hunter.”
Yannick Jadot at 7%
The hunter in question is called André. “They cannot convince us insofar as they have a very fixed idea of ecology. We hunters want to be respected as we can respect environmentalists. Everyone is an environmentalist in their own way”, he slips after talking with Laurence Motoman, keeping the EELV leaflet in hand.
Candidate Yannick Jadot, banner of the Europe Ecologie les Verts party in the presidential election skates to 7% of voting intentions in the polls for the moment. Opposite, Emmanuel Macron is familiar with the 25%. In an attempt to attract a new audience, the candidate launches a channel on the live video social network Twitch. Opening Monday evening.
