Hectic visit for Marine Le Pen in the Vaucluse, Macron expected at Notre-Dame

Hello, thank you for your question. As AgroParisTech professor Bruno Villalba denounces in an interview with “Obs”the consideration of ecological limits was an unthought of the presidential campaign: “On ecology, neither Emmanuel Macron nor Marine Le Pen has a project that meets the challenges. This subject is not at the heart of the programs of either of these two candidates.he points out.

Emmanuel Macron seems to be aware of this deficiency in his balance sheet, because he has been insisting since the beginning of the week on the need to expand his program on ecological issues, even if it means taking over concepts dear to Jean-Luc Mélenchon such as the “ecological planning” and “sobriety”. Thursday, his trip to Le Havre focused on this theme.

On energy, the outgoing president defends a median position compared to the “all-nuclear” of Marine Le Pen and the “all-renewable” of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Yannick Jadot, which he considers unrealistic. In addition to reviving nuclear power, Emmanuel Macron’s program is to install 50 offshore wind farms by 2050. He also promises to finance the renovation of 700,000 homes per year to fight against thermal sieves. Marine Le Pen, who favors nuclear, hydroelectricity and hydrogen, foresees “a moratorium on wind and solar energy”, the dismantling of all wind power sites and the elimination of dedicated subsidies. It should be noted that the RN candidate does not commit to a quantified reduction in French greenhouse gas emissions.

Regarding hunting, Emmanuel Macron obtained the support of the National Federation of Hunters (FNC) led by Willy Schraen in the first round. ” There was never any question of considering banning hunting on weekends and holidays, as hunting remains a popular activity”, he wrote to them in a letter a few weeks ago. The Head of State also defends the cultural importance of the controversial “traditional hunts”even though slime hunting was recently banned “in accordance with European law”.
