A bitter awakening. A few hours after the disappointment of its candidate Yannick Jadot in the presidential election, the permanence of Europe Ecologie-Les Verts (EELV) in Nantes was degraded by throwing projectiles and tagged with the word “traitors”, noted Monday a AFP journalist. “These actions probably took place during the election night of the first round of the presidential election. They are all the more reprehensible”, reacted EELV Pays de la Loire in a press release.
The word “traitors” was painted in dark blue paint on the glass door of the office. The window was smashed where an election poster hung. The broken glass hid the face of the candidate, Yannick Jadot. “EELV strongly condemns this cowardly and stupid attack and has filed a complaint against X,” the party said.
Jadot third in Nantes, sixth nationally
These damages discovered Monday in Nantes (Loire-Atlantique) come the day after the first round of the presidential election, where the environmental candidate finished sixth in the ballot, with a very low score (4.63%), below the threshold of 5 % for a reimbursement of his campaign and far from the initial hopes. In Nantes, he came third, far behind Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Emmanuel Macron.
