Former Green presidential candidate Yannick Jadot and several hundred executives and activists from Europe Ecologie-Les Verts (EELV) call, in a column published on August 21 in the Sunday newspaper (article reserved for subscribers)at “refound” their party in a formation “more open to associative movements” and on the “ecological class” in the society.
“We want Europe Écologie-Les Verts to rebuild itself, with its partners in the environmental pole [comme Générations et Génération écologie] and all those who wish”, writes Marine Tondelier, the initiator of the internal collective “La Suite”, and who could run for the succession to the national secretary Julien Bayou. She is assisted by the former head of the European list of Generation Ecology Dominique Bourg, the mayor of Poitiers Léonore Moncond’huy and the former deputy and mathematician Cédric Villani.
“We are unanimous in recognizing both the importance of Europe Écologie-Les Verts and the current need for a break in its operation.”

A “ecological class” exist“much larger than the inset community” among the Greens, believes the municipal councilor of Hénin-Beaumont (Pas-de-Calais): “Parents and grandparents worried about their children”, “peasants crushed by the industrial agricultural model” or “entrepreneurs aware of planetary limits”.
The line of the movement that she wishes to see born would be in favor of the “decline” and in “opposition to capitalism or economic neo-liberalism, to productivism and nationalisms, destroyers of life and solidarity”says Marine Tondelier.
Among the signatories of the platform are the mayors of Grenoble Eric Piolle and Strasbourg Jeanne Barseghian, the former presidential candidate Noël Mamère, the former number 1 of the party David Cormand, the deputy Générations Sébastien Peytavie or the president of the group environmentalists in the Senate Guillaume Gontard.
If she presented herself at the head of the party, Marine Tondelier could notably face the finalist of the primary, the “eco-feminist” Sandrine Rousseau. In an interview also given to JDDYannick Jadot also says he wishes “an ecological list for Europeans” Autonomous Nupes. “Our differences with La France insoumise justify this autonomy”, he pleads.
