ESSENTIEL EXCERPTS OF THE PRESIDENT MACRON'S STATEMENT " LET"S CHANGE TOGETHER"--------------- The Head of State announced, inter alia, a future major concertation, the closure of part of the French nuclear reactors, increased support for renewable energies and the adaptation of fuel taxation to price fluctuations. The measures already announced by Edouard Philippe (reinforcement of premiums to change cars, extension of the energy check helping modest households to pay their bills ...) have not satisfied the yellow vests, who continue their mobilization. President Macron said: "We must therefore hear the protests of social alarm, but we must not do it by renouncing our responsibilities for today and tomorrow, because there is also an environmental alarm" .--------------------------------------------- He also expressed "What I want to understand the French, including all those who say, in a way + we hear the President of the Republic, we hear the government, they evoke the end of the world and we are talking about the end of the month is that we will treat both ".----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emmanuel Macron refused a two-speed France: "I do not want the inequalities of income generated by globalization to be added to our fellow citizens who work or have worked inequality in the face of the ecological transition". "I refuse to settle a two-speed France, where the richest, because they made the right choices from an environmental point of view, will have lighter bills and the more modest, because they do not would not have the means to invest - which in a vehicle that consumes little, which in the insulation of their home-- will have to pay even more ". He then spoke about lives prevented: I understand very deeply the expectations and the frustrations, the angry anger, the grudges and resentments that citizens feel at the power they feel far from them, indifferent, and basically in the face of what they feel like lives prevented, blocked. Blocked by taxes norms, by a loss of sense of what is the collective adventure that is a nation. And this comes from far away. "------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ President Macron also referred to Brexit: "These problems, all contemporary democracies have to face all, but they express them differently.The Brexit of almost two years ago, in Britain, it is the same They are British citizens who are just saying the world you are proposing to us, it is no longer for us, we do not find it. " Emmaneul Macron also insisted on the reduction of nuclear energy by 2035: "I was not elected for my part on a nuclear exit program, but on a reduction to 50% of the share of nuclear in our mix electrical and I will keep this commitment. "-------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So we decided to maintain this 50% cap but pushing the deadline to 2035". He added that the fuel taxes will be variable depending on the fluctuating prices of its price: "Allow to have a quarterly appointment that allows somehow to mitigate the effect for our fellow citizens, if had to be a surge in world prices. " President Macron reiterated the importance of consultation: "We must not give up the course because it is fair and necessary, but we must change the way of working". "I hope that this strategy can not only be debated but built with you at the national and local level, by giving itself the time and the will, and building it precisely in the next 3 months". "This major field consultation on the ecological and social transition will have the mission to fundamentally build this new economic, social and territorial model".../
