The former French Minister for the Ecological Transition has left the silence to explain his departure, give your opinion on the movement of yellow vests and discuss its future.

Nicolas Hulot left the Ministry of Ecological Transition with only one regret: " not to have been heard ", especially on the famous carbon tax. Nicolas Hulot had sensed the danger and asked for measures for modest households. The French president Emmanuel Macron would not have listened to him, according to him.

" My desire was to reconcile ecology and social. We did not succeed and this crisis was preventable , he said. I have not been heard. I was opposed to budgetary reasons. I learned the lessons .

His defense is far from convincing this spokesman for "yellow vests" that says: " Only for ecology, we will let people die at the side of the road. That's why the yellow vests are out today and the government is not giving us an answer . "

" Let's not oppose the social and the ecology ," replied Nicolas Hulot. Ecology is an eminently social concern .
