VIDEO - “There is a lot of pressure. It is true, I believe that I have never undergone so much and it comes from everywhere, recognizes the deputy LREM of Gers and general rapporteur of the bill.


"

We have a balanced text

", defended Jean-René Cazeneuve, Friday, on the set of "Talk-Le Figaro".

General rapporteur of the Climate and Resilience bill, the LREM deputy from Gers is in great demand.

There is a lot of pressure.

It's true, I think I've never suffered so much and it comes from everywhere,

”recognizes the elected official.

"

The lobbies are at work

", he blurted out again, between those who do not want to touch anything, "

playing the ostrich

", and a kind of very extreme position, "

who would like to break everything at once

" .

Absent from the benches of the National Assembly, but present in the Senate, some figures of ecology, put pressure on the deputies of the majority likely to help them.

"Today, we almost have the extreme green"

If the debate does not scare him and he shares the opinion of most environmentalists on the climate emergency, the rapporteur recalls that the presidential majority does not defend “

degrowth nor punitive ecology

”.

On the contrary, "

it is economic growth that finances the energy transition

", he adds.

A bit scared by a number of environmentalists with "

extremist

"

positions

, "

we have the extreme left, the extreme right, today we almost have the extreme green," he

denounces.

"

All for ecology and ecology for all

" such would be the motto of the Gascon.

According to him, "

we are at a time in our history when ecology is spreading everywhere, it is no longer the business of a few specialists

", rejoices Jean-René Cazeneuve, insisting that "

ecology must be everyone's business

”.

The Climate and Resilience law will arrive at a public session on Monday at the Palais Bourbon.

Recalling that it raises awareness on a certain number of subjects but that it "

is not a text which simply constrains or taxes

", the deputy maintains that this law must support the French, companies and communities in the energy transition.

To his detractors, for whom the account is not there, Cazeneuve objects that Climate and Resilience, is only one element of the puzzle, an additional law, resulting from the citizens' convention, "

which enriches the system

".

"

It is the whole of this ecological policy that must be looked at,

" the deputy still defends.

For him,

“nuclear power is an opportunity for France, at a time when we are talking about national sovereignty.

We must develop renewable energies, but maintain nuclear power ”
