This is called a 180 degree turn. In December, the head of the environmentalist list Marie Toussaint, champion of “gentleness” in politics, pleaded for “a non-aggression pact on the left” for the Europeans. Four months later and while her campaign is slipping, the MEP changed strategy and took out the gloves on Sunday April 14, during a Parisian meeting at Bellevilloise. In his sights: his competitor from the Socialist Party and Place Publique. “The risk is to fall asleep on June 9 having voted for Raphaël Glucksmann and to wake up on June 10 with the return of François Hollande,” she said. Beware of false advertising. Read the fine print at the bottom of the contract carefully. »And to recall that “ecology cannot be support for the A69 motorway”, a reference to this project supported by the socialist president of Occitanie Carole Delga but which divides the PS.

The Greens therefore join the Insoumis who have made a specialty, in recent weeks, of targeting the head of the PS list, described as “go to war”, “liberal”, “Atlanticist” or representative of the “old left”. It must be said that the essayist is leading the race on the left and has even taken off, garnering more than 12% voting intention in the latest polls, and even 13% in our latest Ipsos survey – Le Parisien – Radio France, three points behind Renaissance candidate Valérie Hayer.
