History

On March 14, 2012, Jean-Marc Governatori launched a public partnership offer to Corinne Lepage so that a representative of independent ecology would be present in the first round of the presidential election. The candidate for the Independent Ecological Alliance offers the former minister reciprocal support and sponsorship for whoever has the most signatures today. Jean-Marc Governatori laid down as a prerequisite a programmatic agreement, and the lasting affirmation of independent ecology in France in the perspective of the 2012 legislative election and the 2014 municipal elections.[2]

On February 27, 2021, Cap21 and the Independent Ecologist Alliance merged to found Cap Ecology.[3][4] The following July 7, Cap21, whose administrative merger with the AEI has not yet registered for the primary, is excluded from the Ecologist Pole, due to a disagreement on secularism and the Republic between Corinne Lepage, former minister of Jacques Chirac, and Europe Ecology – The Greens; the Independent Environmental Alliance remains a member of the coalition.[5]

Political position

The party says it seeks "to promote a popular, republican and responsible ecology".[6]
