The internal referendum to simplify the organization and adapt EELV to the “conquest of power”, supported by the party leadership, was rejected on Sunday September 25, plunging the ecological party a little more into the crisis already fueled by The Bayou affair. According to two officials from Europe Ecologie-les Verts (EELV), the referendum obtained around 54 % yes, far from the 66 % necessary to be adopted.
Introduction to the referendum urged to say “yes at the end of the motions, as making machines to make opacity and militant demobilization. Yes to more transparent and more readable operations”.
The “yes” was supported by Marine Tondelier, who should run for the party’s head to the congress scheduled for the moment in December, and by many great elected officials. “The complexity of our statutes excludes, we must simplify them,” explained the municipal councilor of Hénin-Beaumont.
accusations of moral harassment
Opacs debates and internal struggles are well known in the political environment, and constitute a regular subject of teasing. But the 66 %mark, with the white bulletins counted was too high for a controversial proposal.
This setback for the management of EELV intervenes while the party is shaken by the accusations of moral harassment against the national secretary Julien Bayou by an ex-partner. The testimony in a program Monday by deputy Sandrine Rousseau, who met this ex-partner, led the environmental group to the National Assembly to suspend Julien Bayou of his co-president “Aria-Hidden =” True “>
An unwelcome affair: the 23 deputies attempted somehow to get out of the shadow of rebellious France (LFI), which monopolizes media attention, with its 75 deputies and a divisive tone. A party too mired currently in the Quatennens affair.
