The time of the union is far away. Yannick Jadot, guest of the morning of France Inter, Tuesday, January 25, gave several reasons to the impossible rapprochement with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the candidate of France unsuitable.

“I completely acknowledge that Jean-Luc, so France unsuitable, have evolved on ecological issues, and it is so much the better. But also recognize that we can have divergences sometimes deep,” has advanced the winner of The Ecologist Primary, before continuing: “Me, I’m not for the exploitation of underwater funds, I think we have to sanctuarize. I’m not in order to be in the conquest of the sea and In the conquest of space for, basically, carry our productivism. And then me, I am a pro-European. This Europe, I want to change it, but I am a pro-European. “

The recent vote of a resolution at the National Assembly recognizing the “genocidal character” of violence against hears in China is also a reason for disagreement between the two political parties. “When I defend democracy in France, I defend it in Russia, I defend it in China. I have no hesitation on the heel genocide and I defend democracy in Latin America. Democracy is not Democracy in one country. When one is convinced of democracy, we do not relativize it and we do not say that the Chinese regime, finally, has so many advantages, that the genocide of the hearse is not a huge problem. . “

” We must lower the speed on the highways “

The Candidate Europe Ecology-Les Greens (EELV) has also been interviewed on several aspects of its ecological policy in the case of victory in April, particularly regarding the reduction of the number of thermal vehicles. “Does, as a result of my program, the number of passenger cars decrease? The answer is yes. It’s not a goal, it’s a consequence.”

“On the roads, the speed of speed is pretty much settled, I think it is necessary to lower the speed on the highways. Should it go from 130 to 120 km / h? It’s a good question . In any case, it is a collective responsibility and it reduces the trip time very little “, recalls the ecologist candidate, without this measurement in its program, which will be presented on Saturday, January 29 in Lyon (Rhône). Mr. Jadot also proposes to make carpool free for one year in cases where there is no alternative public transport and invest “4 billion a year on the train”.

Finally, concerning pensions, the former leader of Green Peace in France voted against an increase in the legal age of retirement. “We will not retire.” “On the other hand, we will touch the question of hardship. It is an absolutely major issue. We will do this enormous injustice of life expectancy between women and men, simply Because they do not have the same social level and have not worked under the same conditions, a central point of our project and we will put the hardship account at the heart of a great reform of pensions, ” -they have. He has also pointed “a difference in life expectancy of thirteen years between the 5% richest and the poorest 5%”.
