by, and
“This five -year term will be ecological or will not be”, promised Emmanuel Macron before his re -election, April 16 in Marseille. The Head of State has also announced that he wanted to go twice as fast on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while France is late on his climatic objectives and has been recalled twice by Justice.
