SCAN THE POLICY – Executives of EELV, who want not to participate in the primary initiated by the PS, supported a candidacy of former presenter of Ushuaia . Saddened by his decision not to take part in the presidential election, they will have to appoint another candidate.
For once, they agreed . Since that Europe Ecology-Greens decided to present an independent candidacy for the 2017 presidential election, Nicolas Hulot who reaped all the favors. Even those who are eyeing the Elysee, as Cécile Duflot or Christmas Mamère, felt that the former television presenter, yet beaten face Eva Joly in the primary in 2011, was best placed to embody ecology. By renouncing Tuesday night to enter the race, former special envoy Francois Hollande for the protection of the planet, aged 61, has dampened the hopes of his comrades, who will have to gather around another application . “Sad to the decision of Nicolas Hulot but respects his integrity and selfless commitment and constant,” responded David Cormand, national secretary of EELV, on Twitter.

We learned from the 2011 primary, it does not fall into the same “, details the Scan Julien Bayou, spokesman for EELV. MEP Karima Delli it already pleaded his side for the organization of an internal poll.
