“We find ourselves once again having to punish individuals because we did not anticipate”, laments Marine Tondelier

After a week of threats and his house burned because he wanted to set up a center for asylum seekers in his town of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins (Loire-Atlantique), the elected Yannick Morez resigned. “I sent him several messages at the time of the fire then at the time of his resignation“, recalls Marine Tondelier, national secretary of EELV, who believes that “the Republic has retreated“.”He appealed to the prefecture, (…) he did not get an answer. (…) He was abandoned“, she slices, saluting her”great courage”.

After far-right demonstrations were banned during the weekend in Paris, the national secretary of EELV also appeals to the responsibility of ARCOM, ex-CSA, which she considers not combative enough against the far-right ideas. “On CNews, in Valeurs Actuelles, we let this ideology prosper”she regrets, before adding: “I question the ARCOM which does not take its responsibilities, which lets them do it.”

“For the measures to be accepted, they must be fair”

Asked about the restrictive measures relating to the drought, Marine Tondelier deplores that we “finds itself once again having to punish individuals because we did not anticipate“.”We still have a water network that wastes 20 to 30% of the water consumed in leaks, etc. You need a contingency plan to work this network“, she believes while recalling the importance of sobriety. “For measurements to be accepted, they must be correct.“, she also underlines.

Does she share the same vision of green growth as Emmanuel Macron, who went to Dunkirk (North) in the week, where a giga-factory of batteries for electric cars will see the light of day? “I’m not sure that we put the same industries behind the same words”, answers the national secretary of EELV.

She regrets that the president did not bother to go to Trith-Saint-Léger (North) to the employees of Valdunes, a factory which manufactures wheels for trains, threatened with closure. “Green industry is also that: public transport. (…) We do not let 435 employees die, as a matter of principle. They are completely forgotten, despised. He comes to Dunkirk, a few kilometers away, he doesn’t even have a word about them“, she annoys.
