When Yannick Jadot is upset by the question of a journalist, he has a kind of physical tick that manifests himself illico: he turns his head violently on the side giving a great chin in the void, before returning Plant his eyes in those of his interlocutor. And there, in Laon, (Aisne), on Saturday, December 11, when he has just installed the environmental and programmatic milestones of his presidential campaign by lending, for more than an hour and a half, an ostensible inattention to the offer of great primary of the left of Anne Hidalgo, his head almost broke out of his body: “a primary? The PS and Anne Hidalgo do what they want. Let’s be a little serious. I’m not here to settle the difficulties of candidates. “

You can certify that in this case, he remained very very measured. Because privately, since Wednesday, December 8 when Anne Hidalgo invited himself on the TF1 plateau, he was vexed by the method, judged Cavalière, the Mayor of Paris, and furious with this maneuver considered, at best , too low policy to be completely sincere. So, since then, he gets tired of repeating it, this primary will not go through him.

The ecologist candidate knew that by closing the door so heavily on the nose of the mayor of Paris, he was exposed to a triple pressure shot. That of Anne Hidalgo, of course, who points to the desire for the possible political fault, especially when the ecologist candidate does not shine in the polls. That of a large majority of the voters on the left, then, who are desolate from this surplus of applications. The one, finally, environmental activists and sympathizers that would push so much behind their candidate to submit to a primary, that the Socialists are convinced that Yannick Jadot will finish by cracking.

“he n ‘ will have no inflection “

Monday, December 13, he has found themselves in “one” of three domestic dailies. The subliminal media message was not necessarily to its advantage: to rush to refuse the socialist’s proposal, he takes the risk of playing the nasty of the disunity until the end of the film. In the loved ones of Yannick Jadot, we do not advertise. The sequence was sufficiently anticipated for the arguments to be affected and available: “We are not going to redo a primary in January, it is obvious, Analysis Delphine Batho, who coordinates the spokesperson of Yannick Jadot. There will be No inflection of Yannick on the subject. For a week, Anne Hidalgo only speaks of incarnation. Never a common project. Electoral efficiency goes through the strength of a project. By its clarity. We can be respectful of a socialist history, but there is no desire, in the country, to come back to a left that has failed. The meaning of history is ecology, not social democracy. The logic would like that Anne Hidalgo withdraws in our favor. “
