POLITICS – It’s okay for five minutes. The Élysée obviously did not really appreciate the chin strokes of the Minister of the Interior against renewable energies. In a written forum for Le FigaroBruno Retailleau calls to stop the “Public subsidies” For wind and photovoltaics, which according to him “bring” that an expensive intermittent to manage »At the French energy mix.
A text in line with the amendment proposed by LR, and voted with the RN, a fortnight offering a moratorium on wind and photovoltaics. The text as a whole was finally rejected but the new boss of the Republicans therefore wanted to put a layer from it.
Taking the wrath of Gabriel Attal, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, and now from Emmanuel Macron. The head of state responded to the first French cop on the sidelines of a trip this Thursday, July 3, in Roquefort, in Aveyron, between two cheese tastings and a demonstration of the Paysanne Confederation. Calling for not ” caricature everything “And to go out” whims “, The president insisted: “We need renewable (…). It is not a good idea to say that we are not going to make renewable in our country, that we will no longer invest ».
A few hours later, he drives the point home, calling “Each minister” has “ Take care of the business for which he is appointed ”. “If we start to have ministers who take care of everything, it is no longer called a government!” »»
This is the second time that Emmanuel Macron reappears frontally Bruno Retailleau in the space of a few months. His last anger date at the end of May. At the time of the defense council devoted to the hearty report on Islamist entrism in France, the head of state had been particularly annoyed by proposals that he did not consider up to par and leaks in the press upstream.
The wrath of Renaissance and its ministers
This new dry response by Emmanuel Macron is nonetheless soft than the wrath of his former Prime Minister. Gabriel Attal, who has been his blades against LR for several weeks, which he deems “antieuropian”, deplored on x the ” return of a very disturbing anti -science climatoscepticism », « While we undergo a unique heat wave ».
EPR deputies hardly appreciate seeing their allies of the Central Bloc Toper in the hand of elected officials of the National Rally to unravel the Emmanuel Macron’s first mandate in the first mandate in terms of ecology.
Within the government, several Renaissance ministers came out of the wood this Thursday. Agnès Pannier-Runacher Shales Bruno Retailleau on Franceinfo: “ It is irresponsible when one claims to be a statesman. It is dramatic, it is irresponsible, it is the most basic populism ”. The Minister of Industry, Marc Ferracci, also arranging his side « a position frontally opposed to the government line ».
Bruno Retailleau for his part split a focus on X at the end of the day, amazed to see such a lifting of shields for ” reproach the right a position on the energy it has always had ». And precise: ” What we say is common sense: nuclear must remain the spine of decarbonized energy (…) Renewable energies (…) have reached maturity and there is no need to subsidize them ». Frontal oppositions which come to weaken a little more the central block, which should approach the budget sequence in a state of extreme feverishness. By then all the blows are allowed?
