The Head of State reiterated that he was "in favor" of a referendum on the question and wished to include "as soon as possible" in the Constitution "the objective of combating global warming and also respect for biodiversity". "The only question on which there can be a referendum, taking into account the requests that have been made by the citizens of the citizens' convention is a constitutional reform, that of article 1, which places the objective of combating global warming climate change and also respect for biodiversity in our constitutional text. I am in favor of it. This is a major advance and I think it is an advance that will create law and therefore constraints and help transform our country."
