The intervention provoked a great reaction at the National Meeting: guest of BFMTV on Monday evening, Enedis spokesman Laurent Méric indicated that people with high vital risk are not “priority” and “possibly overwhelmed” in the event of power cuts this winter. even if solutions can be put.
“It’s incredible,” lamented Marine Le Pen, leader of the RN deputies. Jordan Bardella, for his part, criticized a government that “seems to have lost sight of all elemental respect for the French and in particular for the most fragile among us.”
For the head of the party, “the only ones who have to get rid of once and for all are our leaders.”
“Everything is going well”
In the wake of Jordan Bardella and Marine Le Pen, many RN elected officials have taken up the issue. “A national tragedy is looming in the absolute indifference of a government that no longer controls anything,” denounced Laure Lavalette, a deputy from Var and spokesperson for her group in the National Assembly. “What is the project? This is the dirty face of macronie,” Emmanuel Blairy, a deputy for Pas-de-Calais, also tweeted.
On the side of the rebels, Alma Dufour, deputy for Seine-Maritime, considered that “it is time to panic.” “5 years of Macron’s mandate to go. It is terrifying to think that there are 5 more to go,” added his Vienne counterpart, Damien Maudet. For him, “the Government multiplies the announcements, but the reality is quite different.”
Philippe Juvin, deputy Les Républicains (LR) and doctor, went there with a comment as concise as it was evocative: “Everything is fine”.
“The announcement makes us react even more, in any case it is even more surprising that it is not what the government had told us, for the moment”, analyzes our political columnist Matthieu Croissandeau on BFM TV.
Olivier Véran thus guaranteed on our antenna on December 1 that the breathing apparatus would not be cut off. “The prefectures have lists of all potentially fragile people or people with sensitive devices in their homes. These people are managed individually to avoid any complicated situation, ”explained the government spokesman.
“private attention”
“Presumably”, however, we must rely on Enedis’s statements according to Matthieu Croissandeau, “unless Olivier Véran has implemented or planned a particular plan”.
“To understand this, you must first know that the cuts are not made meter by meter, house by house, or even building by building, but rather, as the gobierno.fr website specifies, they will be directed in a geographical area of about 2,000 customers,” he explains. And he continues: “Enedis has the obligation to inform in the event of a cut and not of power supply”.
In the event of a power outage, “special attention” will be paid to people at high vital risk, defended Laurent Méric on BFMTV. Two days before any power outage, the latter will be contacted by Enedis.
“We will call them, we will send them an SMS, an email, to see if they have taken precautions,” explained the company spokesman. These people will then be “helped” by Enedis and transported “to a place that will not be relieved so that they are given the greatest guarantee.”
