Description |
The Election for the National Secretary of the newly created "European Ecology-The Greens" Party was the theatre of a bitter contest between two of the party's creators, Cécile Duflot and Daniel Cohn-Bendit.
Cécile Duflot had been previously the National Secretary of the Green Party, and favoured and independent bid from the Green Party apart from the socialist candidacy. Daniel Cohn Bendit's legitimacy was based on the electoral successes that the ecologists had achieved under his impulse to open the Greens to other ecological movements. Daniel Cohn-Bendit fundamentally believed that the Greens should negotiate their withdrawal before the first ballot of the Presidential race, in order to get more electable candidates for the National Assembly in June 2012.
The other candidates, Jérôme Gleizes and Pierre Lucot, didn't appeared to play a great role in the contest. Pierre Lucot was a strong advocate of what he called "radical ecology". Jérôme Gleize, however, faired better than expectated, coming surprisingly close to 20% of the votes.
Disappointed by his dismal showing, Daniel Cohn-Bendit decided to distantiate himself from the party.
