Overview

• Attal framed his “nouvelle donne” as a fusion of economic prosperity and environmental action to redefine Renaissance’s platform.
• The plan features a five-year ecological programming law, a VAT cut from 20% to 5.5% on electric vehicles, carbon-transition savings accounts and innovation-focused special zones.
• The Duplomb law reinstates an insecticide banned seven years ago to protect bees, triggering a record-breaking petition on the National Assembly website.
• Asserting that climate measures serve national security, Attal called for three-quarters of France’s energy to be sourced domestically through nuclear and renewables.
• The surge in opposition underscores persistent divisions over green policy within Renaissance and challenges Attal’s environmental credibility.
