“We will disband The Earth Uprisings”
“There were hooded thugs, dressed in black, who tried to be joined by foreigners who were arrested at the border”, said the deputy.

Twelve gendarmes were injured, according to the Interior Ministry.
The demonstration was not banned “for decorum”added the deputy of Vienna. “It is not banned because the Minister of the Interior wants it. It is banned because it is dangerous, because it brings together individuals who are criminals, not activists”underlined the deputy who sees a “confusion” elected officials of the Nupes “maintained for a very long time with a collective”in this case The Uprisings of the Earth “whose dissolution we call for and will dissolve”.
The Lyon-Turin LGV is an “extremely important, precious” project
A few days after the violent clashes around the mega-basin project in Sainte-Soline, in Deux-Sèvres, the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, announced at the end of March his intention to dissolve the group Les Uprisings of the Earth, co- organizer of the March 25 demonstration. “They are delinquents, they must be dissolved”, insisted the deputy of Poitiers. The dissolution of the group “takes longer” than expected, recognized Sacha Houlié, because the movement did not “no specific legal form”. The Earth Uprisings are not an association strictly speaking, but a “collective” born in January 2021 from the grouping of a hundred organizations and individual supporters.
“Beyond the form, can we just wonder about people who advocate radical ecology and who are against the train?”quipped the deputy Renaissance. “At some point, you have to stop”he repeated before defending a construction site “extremely important, valuable” And “with certain and very good environmental effects, particularly on heavy vehicle traffic and piggyback transport”. Proponents of the project highlight the need to reduce the flow of heavy goods vehicles, which is constantly increasing in the Maurienne valley, to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

An alliance between Renaissance and LR “would be a form of forced marriage”
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne “presents after a year a copy which is very correct, if not excellent”, estimated the deputy, while the rumors of reshuffle are daily. A “excellent copy taking into account its annual report, that is to say to have made vote all the most complicated texts of the reform of the pensions to the programming on the energy “.
But a year after the loss of the absolute majority for the presidential camp, synonymous with a relative majority in the National Assembly, “we showed that we could vote text by text of the elements”, put the Renaissance deputy from Vienna into perspective. But the possibility of a government agreement between the right and the executive has been agitating the political class for several weeks. Renaissance issued an invitation to party officials at the National Assembly to discuss the “majority strategy” presidential, concerning a possible alliance with LR, learned franceinfo from the party. Sacha Houlié replied not “to wish” this alliance between Renaissance and LR, which “would be a form of forced marriage”.
“The right is not capable of taking its responsibilities or is giving up on its responsibilities”blew Sacha Houlié, recalling the immigration bill or the pension episode and the uncertain vote of certain disgruntled LR deputies, leading to the adoption of the reform without a vote in the Assembly, according to the procedure of 49.3.
