The Europe-Ecologie-Les-Verts summer days are held in Grenoble (Isère). Éric Piolle, the ecologist mayor of the city, answers questions from Jean-Christophe Galeazzi in the 23h of franceinfo.
Gathered in Grenoble (Isère) for their summer days, the ecologists of EELV are organizing for their political return. Asked about the remarks of the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron, who suggested “the end of abundance”Éric Piolle, EELV mayor of Grenoble, prefers to remain cautious. “A year ago he called us Amish. His project was the growth of the GDP, feeding the richest thinking that they would pull the country upwards. We have to wait for concrete gestures, keeping in mind that this means a lot of change in a short time for one man”he commented.
According to the mayor of Grenoble, the fight against climate change is “a social struggle. “We cannot both protect the wealthiest and carry out the necessary change. In everyday life, for example, we must isolate housing in a major way. We must make a 180 degree turn in relation to the policy which was conducted until now”, says Éric Piolle.
