“Ecology must be done without dividing the French”, declares Amélie de Montchalin

Ecological transition, Territorial cohesion, but not only. The decrees of attribution, which appeared yesterday, Thursday, June 2, in the Official Journal attribute to it Transport, Housing, Biodiversity, Rurality, the City. On the “4 Truths” set, Friday June 3, the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, Amélie de Montchalin, therefore returned to her “expanded” portfolio. “I don’t have the gift of ubiquity”, first acknowledged the minister, who later underlined that “the government team [a vocation à être] completed after the legislative elections”.

Amélie de Montchalin, however, insisted on defending this grouping, affirming that “what is certain is that this ministry has a coherence”. “Our jobs, housing, transportation, it all works together in our daily lives,” she said. What about his legitimacy at the Ministry of Ecology? “If I am in this ministry, it is because I have a conviction that was forged when I was Minister for European Affairs. For nine months, […] I built unanimity in Europe so that the 27 countries of the EU align themselves with our objective, which is to say to be carbon neutral […] for 2050”, explained the one who believes that “ecology must be done without dividing the French”. “My challenge today is that all French people, in all territories, see a better life”, said she explained.
