Les Écologistes suspend Yannick Jadot for backing Raphaël Glucksmann

The Les Écologistes party has placed Senator Yannick Jadot on a three-month suspension after he campaigned for Raphaël Glucksmann.

Les Écologistes have formally suspended Senator Yannick Jadot, removing his right to act as a party representative for a period of three months. The decision follows the party's executive secretariat concluding that Jadot's active campaigning for Place Publique's presidential candidate Raphaël Glucksmann violated party rules. In the suspension notice, the party instructed Jadot to cease all external communications under its name.

The executive meeting that approved the measure took place on 25 September 2026. The party will instead have ecologist Benoît Biteau speak at the forthcoming presidential debate. Further details are expected to be released.

Why it matters

The suspension highlights internal tensions within Les Écologistes over cross-party alliances ahead of the presidential election.
