The national secretary of the Green Party, Marine Tondelier, strongly criticized the government's preparation for the heatwave on Wednesday. Speaking on Franceinfo, she said she was "appalled" by what she considers a lack of foresight on the part of the authorities.
The environmental leader criticized the government for only now organizing an interministerial meeting dedicated to the heatwave, while several regions have already been experiencing high temperatures for several days. According to her, the government is reacting too late to these weather events, which had already been predicted.
A government meeting is scheduled for Thursday.
Minister of the Armed Forces Sébastien Lecornu is scheduled to chair a meeting on Thursday to review the state services' preparedness for heat waves. Several topics are expected to be addressed, including public access, groundwater levels, and fire risks.
Marine Tondelier accuses the government of failing to adequately grasp the consequences of climate change and believes that current measures remain largely insufficient in the face of the increasing frequency of extreme weather events. The early heatwave observed in recent days has reignited the debate on the country's adaptation to climate disruption.
