Sandrine Rousseau will follow “without any qualms” Yannick Jadot, the winner of the ecological primary, designated Tuesday with a little more than 51% of the votes, assured the “ecofeminist”, this Friday on France blue.

“Obviously, it is Yannick Jadot who will wear the colors of ecology, I put myself completely at his service, there is no problem there”, declared the supporter of “ecological radicalism”, who has together nearly 49%. “I am completely at his service,” she repeated, believing that it was “up to him to answer” on the form that his participation in the campaign will take.

Support “whatever happens”

On Wednesday, she had evaded support for Yannick Jadot, and asked that he “seize the movement behind her” by giving him a privileged place in the campaign. But Thursday, while the number 1 of EELV Julien Bayou had judged that his attitude “made a little bad loser”, Sandrine Rousseau had already seemed to bend her position, and assured that she would support Yannick Jadot “whatever. he is coming “.

“Yannick Jadot won, I will follow him without any qualms,” she insisted on France Bleu on Friday. “I will obviously be happy to be able to participate, but if it is not me, it can also be people from my team, it is not a question of person”, she added.

A “clear gathering of the whole environmental family”

She said she wanted to bring during the campaign the idea that “we cannot do ecology without a very powerful social dimension”, “without completely reforming our social system”.

“It is very good news that this clear gathering of the whole environmental family around Yannick Jadot”, welcomed the ex-LREM environmental deputy Matthieu Orphelin, close to the environmental candidate. “The respect of the commitments made and of the ecological and social project is an absolute necessity”, he added.
