"The official theme of this G7 was the fight against inequality. Nothing, no result! The word is not there. The climate emergency, we talk a lot in recent days, not once the word 'climate'. No questioning of free trade agreements, " she denounced.

MEP regrets lack of climate decisions

"What political decision emerges? Are we ending the 100 billion fossil fuel subsidies that pollute the planet? No. Are we ending the free trade agreements that are organizing the big move of the world? No. Are we putting in place a major project to fight inequalities at the international level? She insisted.

According to her, Biarritz "demonstrated that the G7" , where "seven most powerful people in the world lock themselves in a bunker and decide the future of seven billion people," is "not the relevant framework " .

She also joked about the "new Big Love" between Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump who "came out of this G7 where everyone tried to caress in the direction of the hair . "

Manon Aubry nevertheless admitted that the President of the Republic "is right to engage in a dialogue" on Iran, but she is worried that "he has opened the door to a new agreement" because "it is agree with Donald Trump " and " challenge the 2015 agreement " .
