“I am absolutely convinced”
that having
“Nupe deputies elected is not at all good for the climate, it is totally negative for the climate”
, retorted Thursday evening Pascal Canfin, the president LREM of the Commission of l environment of the European Parliament, during a public meeting organized alongside Clément Beaune in the 11th arrondissement of Paris.
Mecary wants to 'change the treaties'

"we cannot do ecology without Europe (...) It is not possible to make ecological transition by doing European disobedience"
, before castigating the refusal of LFI MEPs to dub the European recovery plan.
"This recovery plan is considered the second greenest in the world by the UN (...) In a historic moment, we are on one side of history or the other",
he said .
declared.

“No, we are not going to leave the European Union, of course not!
We are going to do as General de Gaulle did in 1965, remember the empty chair policy?

“
We will seek and we will manage to modify the treaties so that we have social justice and tax justice, to finally make the ecological bifurcation”
, she pleaded.
But Pascal Canfin, who has been quoted several times to find government responsibilities alongside Emmanuel Macron,
“maintains tenaciously that climate ambition
(carried by the presidential majority, editor’s note)
is much more effective in real life than the big ones. discourse with measures which are not quantified which create tension in Europe”
.
The MEP was surprised
"to hear"
that the camp of the President of the Republic
"would lack radicalism in (its) climate objectives".
“We cannot be more radical”
when
“Europe is committed to climate neutrality, that is to say no longer emitting CO2 in less than 30 years”
, estimated Pascal Canfin.
"It's an extraordinarily radical objective
," he insisted, praising Clément Beaune's commitment to the European negotiations relating to this agreement.
He must imperatively win next Sunday to stay in government.
A defeat would force him to resign.
"We must not allow ourselves to be intoxicated, intimidated by those who sometimes speak louder, sometimes better, but who are always lying, complacent, always in a form of arrogance"
, declared the Minister Delegate for Europe, who obtained 35.81% of the votes in the first round.
