MP EELV Sandrine Rousseau affirms Wednesday in Liberation to have “never been so eco-anxious” as since she has been in the Assembly, where many “do not understand anything about climate change or the emergency that is ours” .
The ex-candidate for the ecologist primary, who publishes at Seuil an essay entitled “Beyond the androcene” (which defines the current period of geological time, where human activities have strong repercussions on the planet’s ecosystems) , calls for “imagining a different world. This is what we must put into the public debate and very quickly. The utopia of a society built on other bases”.
She “invites everyone to get involved. We are at the end of an era, the dissonance is greater and greater, untenable, it weakens the system. Let’s give the knee that will bring it down”. For her, “reconciliation and the construction of the future depend on our ability to deconstruct this system of patriarchal, capitalist, productivist and racist values”. “There, we need a burst, a burst such as we see in times of war. The imperative is a massive carbon exit plan. All our energy should be directed towards that”, continues -she in the Obs. “The world is rocking, there, now. And we are collectively paralyzed like the rabbit in the headlights of a car. What we experienced this summer is only a taste”, she still warns in the ‘Obs.
“Ecology has not been shown to be subversive”
Returning to the low result of ecologists at the ballot box, the ecofeminist explains that “ecology has not been shown to be subversive”, whereas “if you are an ecologist, it is the only way. We will not win by being more reasonable than the others.” “Perhaps we spend too much time rebuilding ourselves and not enough talking to people, fighting battles, confronting lobbies, doing civil disobedience, occupying the field, imposing our vision”, she remarks.

As for the question of making a common Nupes list for the Europeans, she replies that “the forest is burning and that the European elections will take place in two years…”, but “does not want to close any doors”.
