The words of the environmentalist mayor of Poitiers for whom "the air must no longer be part of children's dreams" continue to react.
This Sunday Yannick Jadot, ecologist MEP, thus judged that "politics does not have to be interested in the dreams of the French".
"I think that dreams are intimacy," Yannick Jadot told BFMTV, recalling that he was able "to" discover part of the beauty of the world thanks to the plane ".
Basically, however, the potential presidential candidate "assumes" the green mayor's decision to reduce subsidies to local flying clubs.
"On the plane, everyone understood that we were going to change" with less business trips in particular, supported the MEP.
We must both "save Air France", which must receive new financial assistance, and "develop other modes of transport", according to him.
"Ecology is not a question of black or white"
The Poitiers municipal council on March 29 voted to reduce subsidies to two aero clubs in Poitiers.
During the debate, Mayor Léonore Moncond'huy said "to assume" the fact that "public money should no longer finance sports based on the consumption of exhaustible resources".
"The air is sad, but should no longer be part of children's dreams today," she added, drawing the wrath of Minister of Transport Jean-Baptiste Djebbari (LREM) and several other politicians.
Following the controversy, the mayor explained on Twitter that "ecology is not a question of black or white, it is a question of prioritization, it is a question of sobriety: what do we really have? need.
And it is not a question either of questioning the great imaginaries that have structured the twentieth century, ”she assures us.
