Invited on France Info, Friday June 17, the MEP shared his analyzes on the legislative elections, Emmanuel Macron’s visit to kyiv in support of the Ukrainians, but also on the ecological challenges to be met, returning in particular to the heat wave . He also called for voting NUPES in the second round of legislative elections.
Yannick Jadot, unfortunate presidential candidate under the EELV label, confided on France Info, to be very worried about the heat wave which is hitting the country at the moment: “This should be an electoral argument because what is at stake with the disruption climate, these are the very conditions of existence. He added: “I hope the youngsters will move. Our candidates are trying to reach out to this population because what is at stake is our collective future. »
For the ecologist, “we have a major challenge: the absolute urgency to fight against climate change, reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, get out of carbon. We have fallen behind in our adaptation to climate change. Drought is a disaster. He also declared that “we must reduce our consumption, protect each other. Half of our nuclear fleet is closed. The most recent plant for erosion issues for example. »
While Italy has asked its population not to overuse air conditioning, Yannick Jadot went in this direction: “We need air conditioning in places with fragile populations, but the most important thing is the buildings. . Housing, if we renovate, means less energy bills in winter. This is the main construction site. The MEP affirmed that “we have a purchasing power issue; an absolute necessity to get out of thermal vehicles for air pollution and to fight against climate change. Our manufacturers have the ability to innovate. We must find the means to prevent fuel prices from exploding. »
“In the French political class, there has been far too much complacency towards Putin,” says Yannick Jadot
He objected to the fact “that public money subsidizes families or people who drive big SUVs” and continued: “For millions and millions of French people, there is a massive reduction in the power to purchase. When you talk to them, it’s halfway through the month that we start counting seriously. We need a consumer basket with fixed and controlled prices”
Yannick Jadot approved of Emmanuel Macron’s trip to kyiv: “It was good to go there, especially with Scholz and Draghi because they are three major European powers”, while exhausting him in the process: “The problem is that it’s so late. We see it, with the mixed reception of the Ukrainians vis-à-vis this visit. You know how many European leaders have traveled. The criticism did not stop there: “Emmanuel Macron does this, including to try to purge his statements on Russia. When, according to many jurists, there is a genocide in Ukraine, the question is unconditional support for Ukraine. We are still waiting for the complete embargo on gas and oil. Putin has never made so much money on our gas imports. »
And Mélenchon in all this? The deputy having always refused to integrate the NUPES: “In the French political class, there has been far too much complacency with regard to Putin. If I’m here this morning, it’s to tell you that even if you’re not a Mélenchonist, you have to vote for the candidates of this coalition. He added that “there is no Jean-Luc Mélenchon bulletin” and that “what is at stake on Sunday is are we fighting for social justice to change this abominable ballot and in which people get lost. »
For Jadot, “we have to mobilize and organize ourselves. Mélenchon is the one who carries this campaign, unquestionably. I am a member of parliament; we defend the idea that the National Assembly must be the heart of power. The National Assembly are deputies, not a President of the Republic bis. ” Activist for the proportional, “one of the first measures to pass”, the deputy smashed the members of the PS who accused Mélenchon of anti-republican, campaigning in particular against his candidates during the legislative elections: “Those who come from the Socialist Party and who say that the NUPES is no better than the extreme right, it’s shocking. The only campaign of the President of the Republic and his majority is to disqualify the adversary. »
