While the prices of fuels continue to climb since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Yannick Jadot proposed Friday 1 er April on Franceinfo free public transport “local”, including The Ter, for six months, if elected on April 24, to reduce the spending of French, saving energy and lower imports of fuels.

“We put it free for six months, offset by the state,” he said, defending “an emergency to promote collective transport”. Where there is no public transport, Yannick Jadot wants to promote the development of carpool lines, organized by mobile applications.

An emergency measure also defended by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. During his speech held at the end of his “march for the life republic”, ten days ago, the candidate “Insoumis” had also pleaded for “the total free public transport, as long as the crisis of the Fuels “.

Decrease in speed, thermal renovation and acceleration of the construction of renewable energy projects

Yannick Jadot also offered a bouquet of other emergency solutions to take in this crisis context on Friday morning. In particular, the measures, the EELV candidate suggested that “there may be speed reductions”, arguing:

“It’s not in my program today, but imagine that, to support the reduction or embargo of oil imports [Russian], it [fault] reduce for a few months of 10 kilometers the hour Speed. Frankly, considering what the Ukrainians and the Ukrainians take, the bombs they take on the head, I think it’s a contribution that the French can do. “

Favorable to a European oil board and Russian gas, Yannick Jadot is also opposed to the purchase of American shale gas to overcome a possible shortage of energy next winter.

To answer this eventuality, it proposes, in addition to a prioritization of the renovation of the buildings, an implementation of renewable energy construction projects that are “queued” in France, such as the construction of Wind farms or photovoltaic parks. “It has the equivalent of 30% of Russian gas substitution [which would be permitted] by projects that are already validated and who are simply awaiting a signature,” he continued, before suggesting: “Let’s put photovoltaic on All car parks, on supermarkets, on schools. “

These emergency proposals against the war in Ukraine, inflation and climate emergency, are unveiled by the Green candidate on the day of entry into force of the 15 to 18 cents pump remittance of the liter of fuel, promised by the government.

Other presidential candidates also propose emergency measures, such as pump price blocking for defended by Jean-Luc Mélenchon or Eric Zemmour, the decline in VAT on the fuel worn by M Le Pen and the socialist candidate, Anne Hidalgo, or the blocking of the first necessities proposed by Mr. Mélenchon.
