European Elections 2009 : Greens shakes French politics




Yesterday, European citizens were invited to vote for the european elections. The green coalition, Europe Ecologie, have created the surprise yesterday in France, ranking in third position.The movement led by leaders, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, José Bové and Eva Joly received an amazing 16,2%.



Why did european ecologists make the breakthrough ?
  • Firstly, the movement created specifically for this election was born of a new alliance between the Greens and personalities of the environmentalist movement and association, as the former spokesman Yannick Jadot of Greenpeace or Jean-Paul Besset, close to the TV moderator Nicolas Hulot.
  • Secondly, Europe Ecologie and greens party in particular, can be recognized as one of the few parties that has built its identity on the historic European values: solidarity, peace, no violence, social justice, preservation of the environment ... all this reflected in their slogan "think globally, act locally.
  • And, comparing to other political parties, Europe Ecologie clearly made the difference by explaining that economic crisis, climate crisis and democracy crisis must be resolved, not separately but ....TOGETHER !!!!
