le maire de Bordeaux, Pierre Hurmic, soutient Yannick Jadot
He had so far not taken a position publicly taken for either of the candidates for the environmentalist primary. At least until the results of the first round. In an open letter published below, the mayor of Bordeaux, Pierre Hurmic – and 45 elected officials, some of whom are already committed alongside the MEP – calls to vote for Yannick Jadot against Sandrine Rousseau. The second round of voting takes place from this Saturday to Tuesday, the day when the winner will be announced. “The time is no longer for the testimony of a radicalism far removed from the exercise of power and its constraints, but for the resolute choice to assume the responsibilities incumbent on us”, they write. So far, only the mayor of Tours, Emmanuel Denis, had said his preference for Eric Piolle, his Grenoble counterpart, finished in the first round.
We, local elected officials, local elected representatives, and environmental parliamentarians, claim the ecology of gathering and the ecology of reach by Yannick Jadot.
Every day, in our cities, our territories, we are at work to make ecology the response to climatic, social and democratic emergencies.
Every day we take actions to make our territories resilient in the face of future crises, to anticipate and prevent in order to allow inhabitants to adapt and live better.
The environmentalist candidate for the presidential election will have to rely on a powerful collective made up of people committed to the climate and social justice, including local elected officials, who already govern their territories.
Convinced that ecology later means ecology too late, we want these imperatives to be, finally, shared at the top of the state.
It is our duty to choose a resolutely party candidate to collect and embody this pragmatic ecology of government.
The time is no longer for the testimony of a radicalism far removed from the exercise of power and its constraints, but for the resolute choice to assume the responsibilities incumbent on us. “
