France, Jean-Louis Bourlanges: “An ambitious Green Deal but it was necessary. The negotiation will be long “

The criticisms are plausible: now negotiations will be opened, both in national fora and in the European Parliament, which will be neither short nor easy. However, we could not do otherwise than raise the bar because the situation is dramatic and without a surge of pride, and the willingness to face hard sacrifices, we will never be able to win the climate challenge ».
