Overview
- The former ecology minister, now a Deux-Sèvres deputy and leader of Génération Ecologie, announced her candidacy in an interview with L’Obs on Tuesday.
- She argues that Marine Tondelier and Les Écologistes joining a left primary means no distinct green ballot in the first round, calling the decision a crossed "Rubicon."
- Warning of a "rikikisation" of ecology, she promotes an ecology "capable of governing" built on degrowth and republican themes including laïcité, feminism and opposition to Islamism.
- She emphasizes sovereignty and defense, urging a national debate on France’s military posture and supporting a voluntary return of military service.
- She rejects a broader left primary but says she is open to a primary limited to ecologist candidates; recent positions include opposing the loi Duplomb and backing the armed forces chief’s warning on preparedness.
