“There will be Emmanuel Macron, and that’s what bothers me,” asserts Marine Tondelier, national secretary of EELV

Marine Tondelier, the national secretary of Europe Écologie-Les Verts (EELV), will go to the Agricultural Show over the weekend “like every year”, she indicates in the 12/13 info, Friday February 23. The great debate desired by Emmanuel Macron “doesn’t seem likely to be a big debate”she quips, before adding: “It’s going to be a very small debate. If there isn’t the FNSEA, it loses a little of its flavor.”

The Rural Coordination will not be present either, but what about the environmental organizations? “There will be Emmanuel Macron, and that’s what bothers me. Emmanuel Macron is Jupiter, and he can make Jupiter if he wants in his government (…), the Agricultural Show this year “It’s not Emmanuel Macron’s moment. It’s the moment for farmers, a profession that is doing very badly.”says Marine Tondelier.

The national secretary of EELV confides having met Arnaud Rousseau, the president of the FNSEA. A two-hour exchange that she describes as“super interesting”although they are not “disagree on everything”. As for the invitation of the Uprisings of the Earth to the great debate, Marine Tondelier says she has not “understood that they were invited”. “Maybe the FNSEA is taking that as a pretext”she says.
