Regarding energy planning, Emmanuel Macron aimed “to make France the first major nation to get out of oil, gas and coal”, largely thanks to the development of nuclear and renewable energies.

After having erected the second round into a real “choice of civilization”, Emmanuel Macron thundered: “On April 24, it is a referendum for or against the European Union. April 24 is a referendum for or against ecology. April 24 is a referendum for or against our youth. April 24 is a referendum for or against our Republic. “After a tour in the south of the country, which is largely acquired, Marine Le Pen, for her part, added in extremis a trip to Saint-Rémy-sur-Avre, in Eure-et-Loir , a few hours before Emmanuel Macron’s meeting.
