"It's Alice in Wonderland"

According to the politician, Emmanuel Macron is "completely disconnected": "It's Alice in Wonderland, he lives on a cloud or he pretends".

While the situation is tense in France and the risk of power cuts this winter is becoming clearer, the deputy accuses Emmanuel Macron, responsible since his decision to close the Fessenheim nuclear power plant in 2020.

The beginning of the "destruction" of the nuclear sector in favor of renewable energies which are in the process of "killing France": "The more wind turbines you put in which do not turn when there is no wind, the more you are obliged to import gas to supplement", he explains.

"Renewable energies are an environmental heresy, since it must be supplemented with carbon, a financial heresy and heresy in terms of energy efficiency."

"On the Edge of High Treason"

The closure of the Alsatian power plant is a "serious error" according to the former presidential candidate, "on the verge of high treason": "Olivier Marleix has done a study and we wonder if there are no interests behind, German and American interests."

For Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, Emmanuel Macron, today "obeys" Germany.

The neighboring country "has always wanted to destroy French nuclear power, because it was an extraordinary comparative advantage for our companies, it was a tool of competitiveness, it offered a richer social system than in Germany".

Very accusatory remarks that the deputy hammers and repeats on Europe 1.
