PARIS – For several years, many parliamentarians have been offended by the lack of ambitusus on energy. It took a fragile government balance, and a threat of RN censorship for the hypothesis returned to the table.
“It is normal for parliament to be expressed on an important subject”, a Trench François Bayrou, announcing this Wednesday in Le Figaro the upcoming hold of UNT decor by Daniel Gremillet (LR).
The same morning, Marine Le Pen had reiterated in Le Parisien his threat of censorship, if the energy programming went through decree, considering that “reit by law”. The programming project proposed by the government “encloses France in toxic, deadly and ruin policies for the next ten years,” she deplored.
Since 2022, many parliamentarians on all benches demands a dedicated law. But in the final stretch, it is the Republicans and the national gathering that are the noisiest.
Between a parliament which will not reach a consensus on the subject and pressing industrial sectors, the executive is decreed feverish by many acts and struggled with a sorting pete.
The programming has been under discussion for several months, the sector and many elected officials have taken part in the exchanges. At the beginning of November, the government presented a text without any surprises. A final consultation is ingiel until April 5 and leaves the way for a publication of the decree.
This energy programming decree (PPE) traces the main lines of energy production in France, and makes it possible to trigger calls for tenders and public supports at different sectors. Since the 2019 climate law, the PPE has to be taken to a little programming law, but, for a year, succeeding governments have onto onto onto an obligation to do.
The right and the RN to the assault
Recent investigatives on the consciousness of renovated energies on the electrical system, including photovoltaics, have been added to a well -installed distrust. The antiRenovelables have surfed on it. In early December, several former energy leaders -among others -, the ex -boss of EDF Henri Proglio, published a tribune to their “deleclamenting and walking forces”.
They claim the suspension of the Decree, which nevertheless provides for a revival of the nuclear that they are accidental, but at the same time encourages the deployment of renewal energies.
In mid-March, two senators gathered 159 of their right-wing colleagues and centers to also request Danans an open letter from the Prime Minister The immediate suspension of the Decree and the holding of one of the Parelist. On Tuesday, they organized a press conference to drive the point home.
Renovable energies are a “factory to make the subsidy payable by the taxpayer”, a Proglio of Regret Henri, present in the press confidence. It is that “the whole is the organizer of permanent, the disaster to which we have today”.
ITES is equaling by the national rally. In a column published on March 23, Jean -Philippe Tanguy and Maxime Amblard – former Framatome elected deputy pretending that only their party is pronounced on this subject.
On the left, the voices have been less strong lately. The Senauur PS Franck Montaugé recalls that he said “for almost two years” that going through a decree would have been tightening a “denial of decree”. “As we are both nuclear nuclear or against renovated energies, we cannot have the exposure air that others on the PPE”, decorates a collaborate to the mobilization of the previous ones.
“On knows very well that a law will not go in our direction and will not be able to do not better than the PPE today,” also slips an ecological collaborator, thus justifying the Voce mezzo of his group. He regrets that the government is not known to its left on this subject.
From riding on the side, the sectors and companies have a little little by little wood to ask not to waste time. “Doubt settles,” worried a lobbyist in the energy world last week. “The risk that this decree does not know how to publish is not zero.”
Several lobbies of the sector and the big energetians hope that it will seem to be rapid. An image of Engie, which organized a hurry on Monday for the recall that the decree is “an important text, which gives visibility”, a “compass” which can also “be are and be revised”. And her boss, Catherine Macgregor, gave a Danans layer a post on LinkedIn.
The parliamentarian of the impossible debate
The government has long procrastinated, and if he describes the final by going through a little, he did not facilitate the task.
Then in Bercy, Bruno Le Maire and Roland Lescure featured the idea of a bill at the start of the last Anine. When Daniel Gremillet (LR) tabled his programming bill last May, he did not receive immediate support from the government.
On Wednesday, François Bayrou announced that this PPL, adopted in November in the Senate, sera taken over in the National Assembly. It has not benefited from the accelerated procedure and will therefore have to retreat in the Senate for a second conference.
If the government has not conceived this procedure, it is because the original version of the text “does not conserve”, explains Olga Givernet, depile (EPR) and ministry delegated to Energy at the time of its exam. But she believes that work in the Senate has made it possible to improve it and add “some necessary legislative points” pays supporting the PPE.
For several days, ministers plus, exprodes of exprode in favor of one, with or without vote. “No one wants to discuss a thing that is a generalized grip,” said a figure of the government.
François Bayrou did not specify in Le Figaro the date of publication of the Decree, which should be done before the examination of the Gremelet PPL, as the parliamentary calendar is forced. This should be done “as soon as the return of consultation has been made,” said one in the entourage of the Prime Minister.
It remains to be seen whether it will soothe the threats of censorship, or the calls to attack the Decree from its part. Because in the state, the Parliament will not formally pronounce on its content.
This paper a summer summer to pre -assemble the calendar of the decree.
