Former EELV MEP José Bové will make his return to politics this weekend as part of the campaign for the European elections.
More than four years after his second term as a European deputy, José Bové could make his return to the forefront of the political scene. Indeed, the former candidate for the 2007 presidential election (1.32%) will even change sides. As the campaign for the European elections accelerates on the left, Raphaël Glucksmann, head of the list Socialist Party (PS) And Public place is organizing a meeting in Bordeaux on Saturday January 20, 2024. According to information from Politicothe latter should share the stage with José Bové.
The former EELV MEP, the party he notably represented in the Green European primary, with a view to the 2014 European elections, did not wish to support Marie Toussaint, who leads the environmentalist list for the next European elections. The latter is holding a rally on Saturday in Villeneuve-d’Ascq. José Bové is not the first to join the PS list and Glucksmann, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, another emblematic figure of the Greens also gave him their support.
A figure of anti-globalization, the former sheep breeder José Bové now leads a peaceful life in Larzac. His reinforcement might not be too much for Raphaël Glucksmann, the campaign for the European elections on the left is raging. According to the latest survey YouGov for the HuffPost, the environmentalist candidate Marie Toussaint now has a slight advantage (9%), against the Place Publique MEP, Raphaël Glucksmann (8%).
