Agricultural crisis, reshuffle, teachers’ strike… Sacha Houlié’s 8:30 a.m. franceinfo

President Renaissance of the Law Commission of the National Assembly was the guest of 8:30 a.m. Franceinfo on Saturday February 3, 2024.

The deputy Sacha Houlié, president of the laws committee of the National Assembly, was the guest of 8:30 a.m. franceinfo on Saturday February 3, 2024. He answered questions from Agathe Lambret and Jean-Rémi Baudot.

Health and ecology crisis: “France is exemplary on this subject and will continue to remain so.”

Asked about criticism of the government after the successive announcements of measures for farmers deemed anti-ecological, Sacha Houlié estimated on franceinfo that the executive had not sacrificed ecology to get out of the farmers’ crisis. “Our opponents say everything and their opposite, says the majority member. France is exemplary and will continue to remain so.”

On the question of the abandonment of the Ecophyto plan, a strategy aimed at reducing the use of pesticides in France by 50% by 2030, the president of the Laws Committee believes that this objective will be maintained. “All these objectives are European objectives so yes they are maintained, but the question is how do we achieve them without punishing French farmers?“, explains Sacha Houlié who assures that the government goes further than what the European Union requests. “Which phytosanitary product have we returned to the ban on? We banned the importation of products treated with thiacloprid, so we went further.”

Oudéa-Castéra still contested: “The question is not the people, but the ambition that we defend”

Can Amélie Oudéa-Castéra still stay in government? Embroiled in a series of controversies, the appointment and retention in office of the new Minister of National Education is still debated, while teachers, on strike Thursday February 1, have already called for a new day of mobilization. “The question is not the people, but also the ambition that we defend”, defended Sacha Houlié on franceinfo. On the question of the resignation of the rector of Paris, Christophe Kerrero, after the ministry’s choice of a “moratorium” on part of its reform of prep classes, intended to introduce more social diversity, Sacha Houlié says he regrets this departure. “All the people who leave an institution today are a failure for the State and that is what we want to avoid.“, concedes the elected official from Vienna.

Knife attack in Paris: “We have a total mobilization of all services”

In Paris, an individual was arrested on Saturday morning, February 3, at Gare de Lyon, after attacking several people with knives. Three people were injured, including one in “serious” condition. “We have a total mobilization of all services, whatever the nature of the attacks“, assures MP Sacha Houlié, while the Paris Olympic Games will take place in less than six months.

“We are experiencing attacks in Paris from people suffering from severe psychiatric disorders. This has been the case with previous attacks. The exposure of the national territory to attacks is certain and is known both to the services and to the Minister of the Interior.“, explains the majority member.
