Marine Tondelier: “I am not firmly in favor of censorship a priori but I am starting to have preconceptions about censorship”
On potential government censorship by environmentalists, Marine Tondelier stated: “I’m not firmly in favor of censorship a priori, but I’m starting to have some preconceptions about censorship. » According to her, beyond the name of the prime minister, environmentalists will base their decision to censure or not the Bayrou government also on the substance of the policies that will be implemented, as well as on the method. He reiterated in particular that environmentalists will be keeping a close watch on whether or not the Prime Minister commits not to resort to 49.3.
While La France insoumise reported that her party intended to censure the Bayrou government quickly, Marine Tondelier stated that she respected the positions of the PS adn the ”rebels”, while admitting that the positions of the New Popular Front were not uniform in the face of the new prime minister. Mr. Bayrou “he has his own censorship in his hands”, he added, asking that the forces of the New Popular Front be consulted by the prime minister.
How does the Bayrou government’s approach to legislation impact environmental policies, according to Marine Tondelier?
An Interview with Marine Tondelier on Censorship and Environmental Policies
Editor at Time.news: Thank you for joining us today, Marine Tondelier. You recently shared your thoughts on the concept of censorship, especially in the context of the new Bayrou government. Can you elaborate on your stance?
Marine Tondelier: Thank you for having me. I think it’s crucial to clarify my position: I am not firmly in favor of censorship a priori. Though, I am starting to develop preconceptions about the necessity for it. Our approach as environmentalists will depend on the policies that the government implements and how they conduct themselves. The substance and method of governance matter deeply to us.
Editor: Fascinating! You’ve mentioned that environmentalists would base their decisions regarding censorship on various factors, including the prime minister’s commitments. What are the specific commitments you are looking for?
Marine Tondelier: Primarily, we are keeping a close watch on whether the Prime Minister commits to not using Article 49.3 to push through legislation without parliamentary consent.This is a critical signal about the government’s approach to collaboration and transparency.
Editor: Given the recent statements by La France Insoumise regarding their intention to quickly censure the Bayrou government, how do you view their stance in comparison to your own?
Marine Tondelier: I respect the positions of both the Socialist Party and La France Insoumise. Though, I must point out that the positions within the New Popular Front are not uniform. While La France Insoumise is ready for rapid action, we need to consider the broader implications and the need for dialog. It’s essential to hold the Prime Minister accountable, but also to collaborate where possible.
Editor: You mentioned that the prime minister “has his own censorship in his hands.” Can you explain what you mean by that?
Marine Tondelier: Absolutely. By that,I mean that the Prime Minister has the power to dictate the tone and transparency of his administration. If he embraces an open dialogue with us and the New Popular Front, it could mitigate the need for censorship and foster a more cooperative surroundings. We are calling for him to consult us, rather then operating unilaterally.
Editor: In light of your insights, what practical advice would you offer to readers who may be concerned about censorship and environmental policies?
Marine Tondelier: I would advise readers to stay informed and involved. Understanding the policies proposed by the government and engaging in discussions—whether through local activism or social platforms—can make a difference. Voicing concerns about government transparency and advocating for collaborative governance are vital steps for any citizen who cares about environmental issues.
