Some 400 delegates from Europe Ecology-Greens France meet this Saturday for a congress in Pantin (Seine-Saint-Denis) which should confirm David Cormand close the member Cécile Duflot, at the head of the party.
Some 400 delegates from Europe Ecology-Greens from all over France gather Saturday congress in Pantin (Seine -St Denis). Goal of the day. Elect their National Secretary and try not to blow up because of the balkanization of their party amid opposition to the left of government
The ecologists are only the shadow of what they were. They are around 6,000 members when their party had up to 16,000 led by Daniel Cohn-Bendit, after their spectacular performance in the European elections of 2009. Of those participants, only 3,000 took part in the votes at the decentralized Congress Saturday, May 28, a sort of first round of Saturday’s congress after which the balances were found. Of those 3,000 voters, only some 1,800 members would have moved, most equipped with a power …
Except surprise, David Cormand close the member Cécile Duflot, which should be confirmed head of EELV. This Norman origin, practitioner late backstage party, took over Emmanuelle Cosse when he joined the government in February as housing minister, accompanied by two other environmentalists Jean-Vincent Place and Barbara Pompili. This return to power endorsed the Greens posture now openly hostile to the political line of the head of state, and led de facto the explosion and the disappearance of EELV group in the National Assembly.
The motion of David Cormand and Cécile Duflot, “Reinventing-2025″ is in fact arrived in the lead with 34.9% of the vote in late May. Ten points ahead of the motion “The public ecology” of the spokesperson Sandrine Rousseau or the Paris mayor of the second arrondissement, Jacques Boutault more left on the political spectrum. Two other motions are around 17% of which, “Europa” – that among other Senator of Paris Jean Desessard – is the only one not to reject any alliance with the PS in elections. Another, more alternative, collected 7% of the vote. “We have experienced periods of Balkanization worse today ensures Cormand. And our score is not so bad. “
David Cormand wished through the broadest possible alliance, especially since in this party decisions are taken by qualified majority 60 %. It’s Saturday, mid-afternoon, that any such alliances must emerge from the official presentation of motions. But the mood “a little creepy” that prevailed in recent days, optimism was moderate. “Those who want to ally with us are obsessed by the positions to take,” lamented Cormand.
ecologist Deputy of Loire-Atlantique and vice president of the Assembly, François de Rugy left EELV during the explosion of the parliamentary group which was torn on participation in government. He wears a stern look on his old party, “who claims to still have exclusivity of political ecology but will have less and less.” In this party “sectarisé” which “seeks more responsibilities but systematic opposition to the way of agitprop”, he observed “a regression at work for several years on vis-à-tolerance vis those who think differently from the leadership. ” In Focus, the member Cécile Duflot in the starting blocks for a presidential bid.
David Cormand who says he wants to wipe a party ‘embolized, paralyzed by small inside stories “and” change everything: regulations, working, discussion methods, everything, “defends Duflot” discard on it allows to free himself from his own turpitude “He admires the” vision “of. former minister “who understood before others that the government does not keep its promises.” He praises his “courage”, “for refusing, on behalf of his convictions, to be the number two in the government.”
The question on what stand in their party, and Cormand Duflot will now build the future of EELV. If they are not reversed, Saturday by a putschist nature of alliance.
