Toulouse: LREM deputy Pierre Cabaré against the zoning of the ZFE
The LREM deputy for the first constituency of Haute-Garonne, Pierre Cabaré, protests against the zoning chosen for the Low Emission Zone (ZFE), which is nevertheless a government device. The Parliamentarian vis-à-vis elected metropolitan officials.
Accustomed to taking controversial positions, the LREM deputy for the first constituency, which includes the center of Toulouse, Blagnac and Cornebarrieu, Pierre Cabaré has just spoken out against the zoning of the Low Emission Zone (ZFE) in a press release dated February 1. , the day before the publication by the government of the decree authorizing a ZFE in Toulouse. The deputy protests against the fact that the western ring road is included in the perimeter of the ZFE which aims to exclude, over the years, the most polluting vehicles. For him, it is “a territorial inconsistency”. And, although the device is primarily a decision of the State, summoned by the European Court of Justice and the Council of State to reduce atmospheric pollution, Pierre Cabaré targets the elected officials of the Metropolis who participated in the development of the EPZ. Vice-president of the Métropole in charge of the environment, “François Chollet finds nothing wrong with it. It is therefore the choice of elected officials that is in question and not the law that creates the EPZs”, tries to distinguish the deputy from the presidential majority, who would rather be expected to support a government system. “By this choice, local elected officials claim to close access to Toulouse as well as the use of the western ring road essential to traffic.” The same local elected officials, who must pass the pill of an unpopular decision, will appreciate.
Incidentally, the deputy attacks the mayor of Blagnac with whom relations are strained. Joseph Carles had notably denounced the opposition of the deputy to the territorial reorganization of the police which results in the closing of the police station on weekends. In return, Pierre Cabaré accuses the mayor, who wants to limit transit traffic in Blagnac, of wanting to “block access to vehicles foreign to his town”.
At En Marche, the deputy, who has never had the coast, is more and more in the hot seat. With the arrival of the legislative elections, voices are raised so that he does not obtain the nomination.
