The former minister environmentalist Cécile Duflot called “defeat” Macron bill for activity and growth, discussed shortly in the National Assembly, which could in her “mark a clear ideological decline of the quinquennium” in a forum published Sunday in the JDD .

“The Government starts this year with a ready text of the trappings of modernity. The Macron law would be a “facelift for France” “, says the Paris EELV MP citing the words of President François Hollande in his greeting speech to the French on 31 December.

Cécile Duflot, who left the government in April in the appointment of Manuel Valls Matignon and whose vis-à-vis the executive critics went crescendo since it believes that it must refuse “tour ideological sleight “. ” No, Macron law is not new. It is even a certain point of view a great leap backward, a missed opportunity to change the model. “

” Many critics, often just have thus pointed social risks of the text. But little thing called, this bill may also mark a five-year decline in net ecological “ and ” will weaken the French environmental model, already late “, she says.

Former housing minister accuses the government of “forced passage” by proposing the text “lighten by orders all measures of the Code of environment that would supposedly hinder the activity and growth “. ” By advocating transportation because “, she adds, Bill Macron “will strengthen the road, first factor of greenhouse gas emissions,” and “organizes competition between rail and road” .

In addition to the “green blindness” , Cécile Duflot also points “a social renunciation” with the extension of Sunday work, “true regression and threat to the cohesion social “. “By facilitating the dismissal and weakening the labor code, the law takes the short-term risk of increasing unemployment” and “in housing, it encourages speculative practices “The split sales” that threatens to low-income tenants “, she accuses again.

” In the end, the text called law for the activity and growth, driven by Emmanuel Macron, is actually a tote catalog of old ideas of the 1980s buried in boxes of Bercy. Their supposed modernity is a step backwards “, Judge Cécile Duflot. “Therefore defeat this law is a duty for all those who still have hope and want to invent the next century. Because sometimes startle is primarily based on a refusal “, she insists.
