The left exposed its divisions during the examination in the National Assembly of the pension reform, ten days ago. However, there will still be divisions in the coming days. Hadrien Bect’s political brief.
We have known the divisions of method: should we block or not the examination of the pension reform? Here are the divisions, and even the fundamental fractures. Wednesday, will begin in committee, the examination of the law to accelerate the construction of new nuclear power stations, subject oh so painful on the left. And, according to our information, a meeting of the leaders of Nupes on this text will take place on Thursday, because no one agrees.
>> Nuclear: a meeting of Nupes leaders scheduled for Thursday
“Between environmentalists and communists, there is a gap“, notes a socialist elected official. Between those who want an exit from nuclear power and those who want on the contrary to strengthen it, in the middle, there is indeed the PS, which is trying to get out of the trap into which it has engulfed itself. in 2015, with the reduction of the nuclear share to 50% in 2035. This is an objective which will not be met, but which is still enshrined in law.
And what about the Unsub?
So, if we recap, you have all the shades of vote: against for the ecologists, probably rather an abstention for the socialists, in any case, that’s what the government imagines, and, on the communist side “We could vote for, goes so far as to imagine a PCF deputy, “if some of our amendments are accepted“, he explains… Let’s not forget that the Communists are close to the CGT, which is very powerful in the nuclear sector.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s troops will vote “against”, we already bet in the majority, which provides for this angle of attack: “Renewable energies, they said no, nuclear, they say no, how do we do it? It will eventually show that they are useless“, tackles a minister. We understand it: the executive will take pleasure in playing with the divisions of the left, hence Thursday’s meeting between Socialists, Communists, Greens, Insoumis. And the guideline is simple: try to find points of agreement with an objective, according to a socialist deputy: not to give the spectacle of division again, “do not give the point to Emmanuel Macron“. For the moment, it is not won.
