Overview
- Ecologist leader Cyrielle Chatelain says a government adviser called renewable‑energy executives and spread false claims tying national targets to her group’s vote.
- Sébastien Lecornu rejects any notion of coercion by his team and denies that a moratorium on renewables is under consideration.
- His office reports that an initial internal check found no evidence of adviser pressure and suggests an outside interest group may have intervened.
- The prime minister says he will refer the matter to the justice system to determine who attempted to influence talks with the Greens.
- The dispute surfaces hours before a closely fought National Assembly vote on the Social Security budget, with ecologists seeking assurances that renewable goals are not contingent on their support.
