Provocative and hyperactive, the former spokesperson for EELV makes her ecological radicalism heard in the National Assembly. And takes date for the party congress at the end of the year.
“If I’m here, it’s to change people’s lives and fight a system that sends us into the wall. Not to make up the numbers. Sandrine Rousseau clearly announces the color, in the gardens of the Palais-Bourbon, between two puffs of an electronic cigarette. In permanent campaign for almost two years, the finalist of the primary Europe ÉcologieLes Verts is preparing to take up a more delicate challenge: to take advantage of her holidays. Disconnect.
