Senator Laurent Duplomb is not a very good sport. Reacting to the success of the petition against his bill , he already regrets the new discussion that will be required in the National Assembly. Forgetting that his text was never debated there due to a procedural maneuver organized by his camp to avoid the risks of a more balanced exchange than in the Senate. He is also not very lucid. With his friends on the right and the far right, he is organizing, in Paris and Brussels, a methodical backlash on emblematic measures, believing he is espousing an opinion that would be massively anti-ecological. He is mistaken.
