EELV excludes a return to government – Les Echos

While the name of Emmanuelle Cosse, national secretary of the Green party Europe Ecologie Les Verts (EELV) circulates insistently to enter the government in the reshuffle is announced, it is his party wants to put the record straight: it will not. Anyway for now. “Environmentalists note that if the conditions were not met to advance the ecology in April 2014 with the release of Cécile Duflot and Pascal Canfin the government, they are not today,” the party green.

“EELV finds [...] that the evolution of government policy not suggesting a favorable horizon to more environmental policies, supportive, consistent with the need to social justice and able to build a peaceful society in which one of our core values, brotherhood, is deeply wounded by the deprivation of nationality principle that the government wishes to include in the French Constitution, “said he said. this development comes as the entourage of Francois Hollande does not hide its desire to see the government back environmentalists.

In April 2014, Cécile Duflot and Pascal Canfin, both environmentalists government ministers Ayrault, had stormed out of the executive at the time of the appointment of Manuel Valls at Matignon. This decision was criticized by several members of the party, as Jean-Vincent Place, Barbara Pompili or François de Rugy, who felt that it was only motivated by animosity towards Cécile Duflot Manuel Valls.

Thereafter, dissidents EELV had bitterly regretted the absence of the party in government, especially at the COP21 in December in Paris, which resulted in success. Since then, with other party leaders, they left EELV, denouncing his leftist drift and environmentalists advocate a return to the government.

Meanwhile, after trying to get closer to Jean-Luc Mélenchon and then reached out to Francois Hollande for a “transformation coalition” after the regional elections, catastrophic for EELV since the number of regional advisers was divided by five, Cécile Duflot increases its attacks against the government. In particular, it was very advanced in opposition to the proposed constitutional revision law, voting against at the solemn vote that took place on Wednesday.

EELV not contacted

precise EELV not been contacted for possible entry into government. He also added that any proposal will be studied “with responsibility by the Executive Board [which] will give an opinion before submitting a roadmap to Parliament party (the Federal Council) that quickly deliver”. A process that is fairly heavy.

This position confirms that discussions between hollow Emmanuelle Cosse and the executive went away to the entry of this government is a serious hypothesis, since EELV then responds that the reshuffle is announced for Thursday or Friday. According to several media, the name of Emmanuelle Cosse is among those submitted by the government to HATVP (High Authority for the transparency of public life) to tax audits. The question is whether Emmanuelle Cosse finally succumb to government mermaids, even if his party is against.
