Overview
- The Ecologists sent a letter signed by François Thiollet that on Sunday suspended Yannick Jadot for three months, forbade him from speaking for the party and said his media time will be debited from the party’s allocation.
- Jadot has continued to play a visible role in Raphaël Glucksmann’s campaign, helping design Glucksmann’s ecological plan and representing him at events, a stance the party leadership cites as the reason for the sanction.
- Senior party figures and pro-Jadot cadres, including Sandrine Rousseau, condemned the move as a punitive purge that aims to intimidate dissidents and warned it could prompt further expulsions.
- The suspension removes Jadot from participating in the Greens’ internal consultation on presidential strategy planned for 13–14 December and raises the odds of public defections or deeper splits before the vote.
- Jadot is a founding figure of the modern ecology movement in France with major past results such as the 2019 European election; his sidelining highlights a wider fight inside the Greens over discipline, alliances and electoral strategy.
