Nicolas Hulot will not Minister of ecology. His name was circulating to the expected reshuffle mid-February, but ultimately, the principal party “will not enter government” , he announced on his Twitter account Thursday, February 4, in the third person. François Hollande will therefore not managed to lure despite pledges on many sensitive topics, such as shutdown of the airport project Notre-Dame-des-Landes or a total ban on the exploration and exploitation of shale gas. But this is not the first time a government tale whipping unsuccessfully to former presenter-star of the show “Ushuaia”.
According to the Ifop survey published by the Journal du Dimanche January 31, 50% of French (and 61% of supporters left) would like Nicolas Hulot “plays a more important role in the coming years” he appears as the personality of left that would have the greatest capacity to collect, just before Emmanuel Macron and Manuel Valls. No wonder Francois Hollande, again the lowest in the polls to fifteen months of the presidential election of 2017, would have liked to see Nicolas Hulot join his government.
Far from being a stranger to the Elysee Palace, Nicolas Hulot comes to end in early January to its mission of special envoy of the President of the Republic for the protection of the planet, that François Hollande has entrusted to him three years ago, in which he helped the positive outcome of COP21. However, if Nicolas Hulot has never accepted a cabinet position, his career took a political turn for years
Read the interview. Nicolas Hulot, “I am struck by the poverty of the climate of political parties “
Chirac offered him a ministry
After appealing to him as a consultant on environmental issues, Jacques Chirac, just re-elected president in May 2002, asked him to become minister of ecology in the government of Jean-Pierre Raffarin. But he is seen by many as the flagship of ecology in France wants to keep his freedom of speech and movement, and refused the offer. “You’ll lose a good counselor and earn a bad minister “ he replied, according to the biography Sain Nicolas (Berengere Bonte, Moment of Publishing, 2010). Since councilor, he demands the inclusion of an “Environmental Charter” in the Constitution, which will be done in March 2005.
In late 2006, Nicolas Hulot announces it will not run for president in the next year. He chose a different mode of action and proposes candidates to commit to a “ecological pact”. Laurent Fabius, then a candidate for the Socialist primary, said he would “a two great number of [his] government. ” The ecologist finally managed to sign his pact with the major candidates, including the future elected Nicolas Sarkozy (UMP then).
Mr. Hulot participates in the negotiations of the “Grenelle Environment Forum” announced in May 2007 by Alain Juppé, Minister of Ecology. He withdraws three years later, after the funeral of his proposed carbon tax on polluting products.

always on the verge of entering politics, he remains in any event very popular among the public. In December 2010, the FIFG / Barometer Paris-Match the class in the first place of the most popular of French personalities, before Jacques Chirac and Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
Such point that decided to go for the presidency in 2012: while polls largely gave the winner, he loses the primary environmentalists face Eva Joly. Cooled by this defeat, he distanced the EELV party and shows today openly opposed to the idea of participating in a primary for president. He has not ruled to be a presidential candidate in 2017 but for him, “The issue that [he] door (…) is suprapolitique” .
