Barbara Pompili clarified her ambitions - VINCENT LOISON / SIPA

Barbara Pompili put the dots on the "i" (and there are two just in her name) in an interview with our colleagues from Paris . Appointed Minister of the Ecological Transition, she comes to work and act, as she had announced in the tweet following her appointment.

At work !

“I believe that my appointment, in light of my commitments and my past as an environmental activist, is a signal that we want to press the accelerator on the ecological transition. And I think I embody that. My mission is to make people see things happen. That is what is said. But according to her, the time is no longer to speak. Emmanuel Macron and herself are determined to translate "the guidelines into action. Already, the announcement of 15 billion euros for the ecological transition of our economy is a major advance. "

Attack on the polluted territories of the Republic

Still on the action side, she still reassures: “I received a lot of assurances from the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister on the means that I will have. I'm not here to do figuration, and they know it very well. "

So what will these acts be? Already settled the nine French territories (including Paris, Lyon, Marseille, the three largest cities) where the nitrogen oxide concentrations are too high. “Low emission zones” will in particular be set up, as well as ever-increasing bonuses for the purchase of electric or hybrid vehicles.

Green infinity and beyond

For glyphosate, a thorny subject if any, “from January 2021, between 60 and 80% of agricultural uses of glyphosate will have to be replaced by alternative solutions. On nuclear, which currently represents 70% of French electricity, the objective is to aim for 50% by 2035.

No need to wait as many years to get his opinion and his little pique on Europe Ecologie Les Verts, a party that made a mockery of his nomination: "Me, the culture of comment and judgment from people who expect it is happening, I'm not interested. "
