Six years after their arrival, they are eliminated. This Wednesday, May 28 at night, the deputies adopted 98 votes against 51 at the end of the “low programs areas,” said ZFE. These areas, aimed at restricting the circulation of the most polluting thermal vehicles already often older, excluded those with 3 plus critical bullets, according to certain places.
But since its implementation, certain officials elected to the left, as on the right, consider that the population categories cannot buy less polluting vehicles, due to lack of means.
Given the threat of his abolition, he proposed mainly a government commitment in Lyon and Paris, among the most polluted cities. It will be nothing, the end of the ZFE was activated on Wednesday, which led to a rain of political reactions.
A “victory” for the right
In the extreme right and law, the vote of 98 votes “for” is experienced as a victory. When moving to Nouuméa, Marine Le Pen, president of the National Rally Rally in the Assembly Group, Exults. “It is a defeat for punitive environmentalists, those who hit the French head with a hammer by zero profits all the time,” said the head of the game.
A few minutes after the result of the vote in 155 voters, Éric Ciotti, Deputy Alpes-Maritimes and President of the UDR, was delighted with the abolition of the ZFE, a “technocratic tool for the exclusion of the middle and popular classes of the centers of the cities.”
In their arguments, the opponents of the project did not stop pointing to the “excluding” nature of these areas, especially for the owners of more polluting vehicles, often unable to change them. An argument also assumed the extreme right.
Guest this Wednesday night at the BFMTV set, Jean-Philippe Tanguy, deputy of RN for Somme, said that ZFE’s abolition is not a defeat for ecology. “We must fight the fine particles, against pollution, but it is not by social segregation, by exclusion,” the elected official announced.
For their part, user associations such as 40 million motorists estimate that this vote allows “to convert the page of a deeply discriminatory and antisocial measure. This success is ours.”
LFI wants alternatives and a moratorium
For the rebellious France, the announcement is also qualified as “victory.” “The ZFE penalizes and blames the most modest in our country, it is not acceptable,” the rebel France (LFI) reacted in a press release. “At a time when 15 million people have problems moving to France, the State must guarantee a right to mobility to all.”
A victory shared by Clémence observedVice President of the National Assembly and Deputy of LFI, who believes that “ecology should not be made to the back of the working classes.”
But this abolition is only partial, the left group requests a moratorium in these areas to “condition them to a mass development of the public transport offer.”
Last March, the group on the left launched a petition to present a law that requires the establishment of a national exemption for health personnel working in the medical sector, the redefinition of the Crit’Air label or the reduction of VAT to 5.5 % for trains and public transport tickets.
Environmentalists regret the lack of support
A few minutes after the outcome of the vote, the environmental member of Vienne Lisa Belluco deplored the lack of support in BFMTV after the implementation of these areas.
“Obviously, when you tell people overnight, ‘you can’t come [ici]’And that plans zero support, necessarily people are not happy. You must give yourself the means to succeed so as not to put yourself in a situation of failure and say ‘look the ecology, it does not work, so we stop’ “says the deputy.
The vote of the article must be voted without modification in the Senate. An unlikely scenario with respect to the 600 amendments to which it is directed. This Wednesday night, the deputies fear censorship of the repeal of the ZFE at the end of the race by the Constitutional Council.
