"We have obsolete tools" to carry out the ecological transition. Invited Tuesday of the Forum Europe 1 Freedom, Equality, Fraternity, organized in Bataclan, Secretary of State Brune Poirson has shown difficulties for the government to carry out some reforms in environmental matters. She warns: only the state will not be able to provide all the answers.
"Mont Ventoux in flip flops". "The ecological transition is simply better living, better heating, better housing, working in a company that makes sense, better move.That is the vision.But then you must have tools And we, we have tools obsolete.It is as if you want to climb Mount Ventoux in flip flops.This does not work, you need adequate shoes, "metaphor the native of Vaucluse.
How are the tools of the state obsolete? "The state is organized on the model of a Fordist enterprise of the 20th century.There are lines in silos.Agriculture must not speak to the economy, which must not speak to ecology, etc. work, one 'désilote', but it's not always easy, "says Secretary of State.
And then go on: "So we set a framework, but it's the sickness of politicians to make executives, we make laws, and after that nothing happens, whereas a law is only 10 % of the work When we make a law, we make the TV sets, but that is not enough.There is a work of ants to do to implement, to convince.The problem today is that the implementation, when one is a policy, it does not pay ".
"We grope, we do not have all the answers". Brunette Poirson cites as an example the closing of nuclear power stations, which skates, or the establishment of a vast plastic recycling system. "It's the same for everything," said Brown Poirson. "You have a million people who sign a petition to challenge the state on the environment and at the same time, a social movement of employees in coal-fired power plants, which we close, to tell us 'you're going too fast.' This is one of the contradictions that must be resolved, "continues the Secretary of State.
According to her, not everything should be worn by the state. If citizens have their role to play, Brune Poirson appeals mainly to businesses and local communities. "We need to leave as much power as possible at the local level, at the cities and at the regions.The situation is so difficult, so complex that it is our responsibility to say, sometimes, 'I do not know "Yes, we are fumbling, we do not have all the answers, the state is an intermediary and we have to create trust," she says.
