Marine Tondelier Faces Internal Criticism and Public Perception Challenges at Agriculture Fair

The leader of France's Green Party seeks to bridge gaps with farmers while addressing internal party disputes and launching a new perception survey.

Marine Tondelier, head of France's Green Party, attended the Salon de l'Agriculture to emphasize the party's alignment with agricultural concerns and counter negative perceptions.
Despite efforts to engage with farmers, the Greens continue to face skepticism from the agricultural community, with some attendees expressing hostility toward Tondelier.
Tondelier announced the launch of a survey to assess how farmers perceive the Green Party and its policies, with findings to be shared in May 2025.
The party is grappling with internal criticism over unclear political strategies and proposed reforms to its leadership election rules ahead of its April congress.
A recent poll found that while the Greens are seen as the second most supportive party for farmers, they trail the far-right National Rally, highlighting ongoing challenges in reshaping their image.
