The “eco-feminist” Sandrine Rousseau the surprise of the primary of the French Greens

PARIS – The “eco-feminist” Sandrine Rousseau is the surprise of the green primaries of Europe Ecologie les Verts (Eelv). The former spokesman for the party finished second in the internal race to get the investiture in the presidential elections, just a few points behind the favorite Yannick Jadot. Rousseau, 49, professor of Economics in Lille, embodies the most radical wing, the newest one and much followed by young people, in which ecology is linked to feminism, anti-racism and all the “struggles against domination “.
