The move prompted Waechter to leave the Greens. He went on to found the [[Independent Ecological Movement]]. In the following presidential election of 1995, [[Dominique Voynet]] polled a modest 3.8% but, in due to the marginalisation of [[Ecology Generation]], the Greens captured the leadership into the family of the French [[political ecology]]. Component of [[Plural Left]] coalition, the Greens obtained for the first time a parliamentary representation in [[1997 French legislative election|1997]]. [[Dominique Voynet]] was to lead the party into government for the first time, joining [[Lionel Jospin]]'s [[Socialist Party (France)|Socialist Party]] (PS) and the [[French Communist Party|Communist Party]] (PCF). Voynet was rewarded with the cabinet position of Minister for the Environment and Regional Planning, before being replaced by [[Yves Cochet]] in 2001. Line 41: [[Alain Lipietz]] was first selected to represent the Greens in the [[2002 French presidential election|2002 presidential elections]] but his public outings proved awkward and he was soon replaced by [[Noël Mamère]] who had initially lost the [[primary election]]s. Mamère's 5.25% represents the strongest Green challenge for the presidency to date. However, the legislative elections were a major disappointment: with just 4.51% of votes cast nationally, the Greens’ representation fell from six to just three deputies (out of a total of 577) in the [[French National Assembly|National Assembly]]. === Following the return to opposition benches in 2002, [[Gilles Lemaire]] assumed the position of national secretary. His tenure is marked by a period of internal strife in the party. Lemaire was in turn replaced by [[Yann Wehrling]], who seemingly united a majority of the membership under a text outlining the future direction that the party hoped to pursue. He was succeeded by [[Cécile Duflot]] in 2006, who was the party's youngest National Secretary at the age of 31. She announced her resignation in May 2012 after being appointed to the new cabinet appointed by President [[François Hollande]].
