She doesn’t want the Defense Council alone. The president of the RN group in the National Assembly, Marine Le Pen, wrote to Élisabeth Borne to request an extraordinary session of Parliament in the face of the energy crisis, according to the letter she published on Twitter on Wednesday.
“I ask you, Madam Prime Minister, to convene an extraordinary session of Parliament, putting on the agenda a debate followed by a vote on the measures to be taken to protect the French people from the energy crisis,” writes the former president candidate.
This crisis “is now out of control”, believes Marine Le Pen, before questioning “the flagrant inefficiency of the government” that “now exposes our companies and our compatriots to the worst difficulties, seriously endangering our national sovereignty”.
She criticizes in particular “the irrational development of intermittent energies” and “the liberalization of the European market” that have “aggravated our common dependence on gas imports”, a development “imposed to the detriment of nuclear energy” according to her, and addresses the sanctions directed at Russia “which” are led by the French “.
“The president bypasses parliament”
“We discussed that the President of the Republic deviate from Parliament to manage the crisis with an Energy Defense Council” on Friday, he adds, denouncing a “contempt for the representatives of the people” that he considers “intolerable.”
“It is the opposite of what she asked for, not to sit down in September,” Aurore Bergé, the president of the Renaissance group, denounced on France 2, accusing Marine Le Pen of “contradictory speeches depending on the opportunities.”
“As of September we will be able to hear and convene the president of RTE and also that of EDF” and “on the issue of the price of energy, it is a debate that we will have in the budgetary context,” he said. she adds.
President Emmanuel Macron will convene a Defense Council on Friday dedicated to gas and electricity supplies to France, the Elysee said on Tuesday.
