Inspired by the work of the Citizens' Convention, the climate and resilience bill is currently being examined in the Assembly.

While the Minister of Ecology defends a "common sense" law, the left and environmentalists denounce her lack of ambition.

The right denounces a "punitive ecology".

The much contested Climate and Resilience Bill arrived in the National Assembly on Monday.

Inspired by the work of the Citizen's Climate Convention, it provides for a series of measures such as the ban on domestic flights in the event of alternatives by train of less than 2:30 or the ban on the rental of thermal strainers in 2028. More than 7,000 amendments have already been tabled, which reflect the strong split among deputies.

On Monday, the Minister of Ecological Transition, Barbara Pompili, defended in the gallery a law of "practical ecology" and "common sense".

"This law is a global cultural shift that will make ecology a daily reality to ensure the future of the country, by tackling what is most ordinary, most basic but also most crucial: our lifestyles. "

The left criticizes a lack of ambition

For his part, the leader of France Insoumise, Jean Luc Melechon, immediately opposed the law.

"It does not include the essential concrete measures which are within our reach and which you have decided not to take," he told the minister.

The government's text is strongly criticized by the whole of the left, environmentalists and NGOs, who criticize its lack of ambition and the unraveling of the measures of the Convention.

Criticisms relayed by environmental deputy Delphine Balto.

"The bill turns its back on the 149 proposals of the citizens' climate convention. It turns its back on the expectations and demands of the youth, who demonstrated on Sunday. I am fighting for a real climate law and for a debate without filtered."

Green MPs launched their own debate, in parallel, on the Twitch platform.

The right intends for its part to step up against what it considers a "punitive ecology".
