Anne Hidalgo behind in the polls: “A good captain is the one who stays the course”
According to the latest Ifop poll, Anne Hidalgo is credited with 2.5% of voting intentions in the first round. “You have to keep your calm, your course”, assures Valérie Rabault who agrees all the same as Anne Hidalgo “struggling to be heard”. “The challenge is to keep your energy, keep your will and stay the course”, she says, even if “the polls are not good”.
Rise in fuel prices: “A check for 50 euros per month”
“You have 17 million French people who take their car to work every day because they have no public transport. Of these 17 million, 8 million earn less than 1,700 euros per month. If they have a fuel bill than to go to work between 200, 250 and 300 euros per month.“, explains the president of the socialist group to the Assembly.
Rising energy prices: the “scandal” of the rules imposed on EDF
Valerie Rabault deplore “a mechanism imposed on EDF” by the state which “impoverished” the group. She denounces a “economic nonsense, ecological nonsense” and “scandal”. “EDF is forced to sell at 42 euros per megawatt. Something he produces that costs him 46 or 47 euros to produce. So he sells it to private suppliers at 42 euros and these same private suppliers will resell it on the market at 300 euros“, regrets the deputy.
