“I don’t understand the euphoria of the socialists,” declares Marine Tondelier
The nationwide secretary of Ecologists, Marine Tondelier, defined Tuesday to Agence France-Presse (AFP) “not understanding the euphoria of the socialists”just a few hours earlier than the Prime Minister’s basic coverage declaration, judging that “the current state of discussions [donnait] no reason to consider anything other than censorship”. Olivier Faure says he does not need to promote the bear’s pores and skin till he kills it, however I’ve a sense that is what he is doing.”she regretted.
On “the proposal” compromise put on the table by the Socialist Party, the content of which has not been revealed, Marine Tondelier believes that it is not “not very clear”and affirms that she will be “very attentive to what the social partners will say, in particular the CGT”.
Regarding the environmental issue, for which the Ecologists are demanding 7 billion euros, Mme Tondelier judges that “it’s a joke”. “We speak to them in billions, they respond to us in millions. (…) If the environment is not the priority, neither of the government, nor of our partners, we will take note of it”she adds.
She keeps thinking “that it was necessary to negotiate” with the government; facing the situation “of the most vulnerable”, “whatever we can take, we must take, but from there to rejoicing, we are not there”.
According to her, there should be in François Bayrou’s speech some “advanced”on the elimination of co-payments, waiting days for civil servants, the increase in the national health insurance expenditure objective or even the end of job cuts in national education. “If it comes to fruition, it won’t be nothing, we will have played our role”she says.
But she also judges that on social “the account is not there”. The proposal to tax the wealth of the wealthiest would, for example, bring in, according to her, some 2 billion euros, “far from the level of the ISF [impôt de solidarité sur la fortune] if it had not been deleted ».
