It’s going badly. This Monday, September 4, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Education chose to go to Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine) for the start of the 2023 school year. However, according to information from BFMTV, Élisabeth Borne and Gabriel carried out the journey on a government plane. Even though the Breton prefecture is less than 1h30 from Paris by train. The left-wing elected officials and environmentalists did not hesitate to mock this choice of the two members of the government, while the plane emits much more greenhouse gases than the train.
“For their back to school in Liffré, Gabriel Attal and Elisabeth Borne preferred the 38-minute flight by presidential plane to the 1h30 TGV for Rennes”, was particularly indignant the deputy François Ruffin on X (ex-Twitter). “But luckily, for the photos, they will be eating vegetable bolognese for lunch,” he added.

“Hypocrisy”, denounced the leader of the environmental deputies in the Assembly, Cyrielle Chatelain. “When you really become aware of the climate catastrophe, you don’t take the plane when you can make the trip in 1h30 with the train,” she said. “Yes, but they took the same plane… It’s still a small gesture,” quipped Green MEP David Cormand.
