President Emmanuel Macron has “understood the problem” of ecological transition but “does not express a political vision” or a “story” of this issue, regrets his former minister Barbara Pompili, deputy of the left wing of the majority.
During President Macron’s speech on Monday, Barbara Pompili hoped to hear this “vision” on ecological transition. But “it’s not part of his culture,” she said during a meeting with reporters on Wednesday.
The President of the Republic had briefly mentioned “ecological planning” and a “new ecological production model” on Monday evening during his televised address.
“Emmanuel Macron understood the problem, but he tackles it in a technical way. There are too many greenhouse gas emissions and he makes sure to reduce them sector by sector, more or less well. a story, it does not express a political vision”, judge Barbara Pompili, leader of the party In common.
“It’s a shame because when he does it, it works like (this fall) when he asked all French people to save energy” to spend the winter, nuance the former Minister of Ecological Transition .
The deputy for the Somme says she has spoken with Elisabeth Borne to encourage her to put ecology back at the center of the roadmap that the Prime Minister is to unveil next Wednesday.
Elisabeth Borne’s role “is to be the conductor through the General Secretariat for Ecological Planning”, a government coordination body attached to Matignon so that “the mental burden of the Ecological Transition no longer rests solely on the minister” Christophe Béchu, emphasizes Barbara Pompili.
On the left wing of the majority, Barbara Pompili is criticized by some colleagues for her reluctance on pension reform in particular. With In common, she claims a role of “debate agitators”, to avoid “one-size-fits-all thinking” and take into account the “new deal” of an Assembly without an absolute majority, she assumes.
With three deputies from her party, Barbara Pompili recently became simply “related” to the Renaissance group in the Assembly, a “clarification” which gives them more “latitude” according to them.
