Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

After giving local support for the EP elections, I too am adopting a wait-and-see attitude for the moment. Nicolas Hulot for candidate might pull in votes, but the resulting image confusion would be fatal. Just as the Greens' tendency to continue to be a party and therefore attempt to overpower what should be a broad coalition and run it as a party, can't go on or it will end up with, er, the Greens going back to being a party. Factional, squabbling, rump. (Organic rump, but rump).

Yes, I've voted for EELV in the European and regional elections, but I don't think I would vote for Hulot. I might however change my mind: I have seen him interviewed and it improved a lot my opinion about him.

Développer l'"économie verte" en empruntant auprès de la BCE, plaide FNH, Actualités
Développer l'"économie verte" en empruntant auprès de la BCE, plaide FNH

L'investissement massif permettant une transition vers une "économie verte", respectueuse des ressources et du climat, nécessite d'autoriser un Etat à emprunter directement auprès de la Banque centrale européenne, a plaidé mercredi la Fondation pour la Nature et l'Homme (FNH).
Cette pratique, en vigueur aux Etats-Unis ou au Japon mais "interdite dans la zone euro", a déjà été utilisée pour sauver le système bancaire en 2008, souligne l'ex-Fondation Nicolas Hulot dans un note détaillant sa proposition.

I have paid no attention to his foundation, but this is probably remiss of me...
