15 days before the first round, the environmental candidate organized a meeting this Sunday at the Zénith, in Paris. We could see him dancing at an Ärsenik concert, and others… You have surely heard the pun revisited in all the sauces but also a quiz on the life of Yannick Jadot. But basically, what was Yannick Jadot’s meeting like?
To summarize: 1 hour 11 of speech. A very dramatic introduction to the environmental crisis. “We know the scientific reports which for 50 years have foreseen everything (…) It is the survival of humanity that is at stake today and we know it: the status quo is chaos“, he said. Yannick Jadot also linked the preservation of the climate with that of peace in Ukraine. “The climate battle is vital and inseparable from the battle for peace and security, fossil fuels are our enemy“, he estimated.
Also, he took the opportunity to tackle his rival on the left, Jean-Luc Mélenchon. And tackled outgoing President Emmanuel Macron. “It was their complacent policy that built Putin’s war machine, that made him think he could multiply conquests and power plays, while he gave him “Dear Vladimir“”, lambasted the environmentalist candidate. He also criticized certain lobbies, such as: pesticides, industrial farming, lucrative nursing homes, etc.
Finally, after having proposed his measures for France such as the establishment of a referendum on an in-depth union of Europeans for climate and energy security, for industrial and food sovereignty, the candidate insisted on his measures for young people: “We will create a citizen’s income, accessible from the age of 18, which will leave no one, no one, below the poverty line.”
