Water is becoming an increasingly valuable commodity. The President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, presented this Thursday his “Water Plan” aimed at better management of this resource, which is threatened by global warming. This series of measures is the result of consultations launched after the scorching summer of 2022 and the second worst soil drought to hit France. Water resource management and access is a topic increasingly being addressed by political parties.
LFI multiplied offers
If this Thursday the Politico newsletter reported that the National Assembly is going to set up a working group in the National Assembly on the topic of water, this has long been a major concern for La France insoumise. In Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s presidential program for 2017, divided into thematic booklets, booklet No. 29 was dedicated to the theme of water. LFI, in particular, proposed to include in the Constitution the basic right represented by access to water. On February 1, 2018, she also defended the constitutional bill in the National Assembly. “seeking to make access to water a birthright”.
“We can deprive ourselves of this or that, acquire this or that, but we cannot do without water. Therefore, we must enshrine this right in the Constitution.”said the deputy Mélenchon on the podium. “It is about moving from commercial and capitalist pricing of water to pricing that is ecological, respectful of water and socially respectful of people.”he already pointed out. The bill was rejected by a majority on the grounds that “inalienable right” access to water was already provided for by law.
On Thursday, before the presentation of Emmanuel Macron’s “Water Plan”, LFI again broadcast its own “a plan for the protection of water, the common good of mankind”, complain “national plan” aims to support all farmers and “Energy bifurcation”.. Finally, in January 2021, the LFI created a parliamentary commission to investigate the facts of the seizure of water resources by private interests and its consequences, and from March 22 to April 13 of the same year, the movement organized a “citizen vote on water resources.” “
A topic for environmentalists, less for socialists
Thus, Yannick Jadot wanted to make water management public in order to guarantee access to it for all, in order to protect citizens from the risk of water shortages or rising water prices. The environmental candidate also wanted to ensure access to water for all French people and generalize its social value by setting it according to household income and family composition.
The socialist Anne Hidalgo offered only to guarantee her access to overseas territories, as did Marine Le Pen. The communist Fabien Roussel wanted to invest in building a real public water service to guarantee the same price for everyone and support the municipalities to upgrade their networks in order to preserve this important resource. Valerie Pécresse (Les Républicains) wanted to stop wasting water by repairing the water mains and using wastewater for irrigation.
