For him, Emmanuel Macron’s environmental record is bad. “It has done more than its predecessors, but without stopping the damage to biodiversity and the climate, the steamroller has continued to advance”he noted, denouncing an excessively vertical exercise of power, neglecting the lack of “consultation of civil society”.
The promise of the president-candidate to appoint a Prime Minister in charge of ecological planning is “a good idea in the sense that the environmental issue is the vital issue of the decades to come”according to Arnaud Schwartz.
“The person who will have this post of Prime Minister will have to do a job which is the opposite of what the president has too often done during his five-year term, that is to say to divide and oppose”

On the profile of this potential new Prime Minister, Arnaud Schwartz believes that it is necessary “a person who has authority, who puts in human resources to enforce environmental law, but also a person who has a sense of dialogue and who knows how to bring the various stakeholders around the table”.
