The Elysee ensures this Sunday morning that it has no intention of giving up its project to reform the Constitution, aimed at including climate protection.
“The amendment of article 1 of the Constitution to include in it the guarantee of the preservation of the environment and biodiversity is in no way buried.
The battle is not over: as it has been since the start of the five-year term, the ecological cause remains one of the priorities of the President of the Republic ”, assures the Presidency of the Republic.

Everyone stands on their positions, including action.
We must move on, "justified a" heavyweight of Macronia "to our colleagues.
Gatherings this Sunday afternoon
Two paths are possible to bring about a constitutional revision: submit the text to a referendum or have it adopted by 3 / 5ths of Parliament meeting in congress (National Assembly and Senate combined).
In both cases, the text must first be adopted in the same terms by both chambers.

However, the majority of the Senate rejects the term “guarantees”, which according to it gives the preservation of the environment a form of priority over other constitutional principles.
