Karima Delli Challenges Marine Tondelier for Leadership of French Green Party

Delli criticizes Tondelier's record and advocates for a more popular, action-driven approach to ecological politics ahead of April's leadership vote.

Karima Delli, a former European Parliament member, has announced her candidacy to lead the French Green Party, aiming to unseat current leader Marine Tondelier.
Delli argues for a 'popular and reliable' ecological platform, criticizing the party's current direction as overly insular and lacking tangible political victories.
She highlights the failure to secure impactful policies like a 'climate ticket' for affordable public transportation, contrasting this with successful measures in Germany.
Delli also points to the party's poor performance in the 2024 European elections, where it garnered only 5.5% of the vote, as evidence of the need for change.
The leadership contest will culminate in a party vote from April 24 to 26, marking the end of an internal selection process.
