The president of the Les Républicains group in the National Assembly calls for a “commission of inquiry” to “establish responsibility” for the current crisis.
“We have become energy beggars“, laments Tuesday, September 13 on franceinfo the president of the group Les Républicains in the National Assembly Olivier Marleix. “Until 2019, France was the world’s leading exporter of electricity, but because of this government’s negligence, we are now forced to go and beg for electricity from the Germans who, suddenly, impose a reform of the European market“, assures Olivier Marleix.
If the deputy for Eure-et-Loir calls for “maintain the measures to protect the purchasing power of the French“and to help French companies”who see their electricity bills multiplied by 7, 8 or 9“, he estimates that “the best price shield is a price of electricity at the right price.“
“In France, we produce electricity at 50 euros per megawatt hour and our companies buy it at 700 or 800 euros. It’s absolute madness!”

Olivier Marleix is indignant against a European rule “proposed by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz when he came to meet President Macron” who “taxes in a way the good students, those who produce nuclear electricity at low cost, to subsidize those who produce electricity which is expensive from gas“, like the Germans.
The LR deputies asked “a commission of inquiry to establish responsibilities“of the current energy crisis, reveals their group president. He denounces pell-mell”those who closed Fessenheim“, “those who have renounced nuclear power“, Emmanuel Macron’s project of “close 12 nuclear reactors“, or “the ban on shale gas research“.”We will explore how the debate in France has been steeped in nuclear misconceptions“, he assures.
