I would like to talk about a major issue that almost no candidate is addressing: culture. We live in a false abundance, an abundance of flows and a scarcity of meaning. We burn our attention like we burn oil. And in the meantime, no one is asking the real question. (translated)

Twenty-five years separate us from September 11, 2001. And yet, we are still on September 12, 2001. Since then, indeed, we have been trapped in the eternal return of the same. As if it were yesterday. As if it could be tomorrow again. (translated)

Today, the ecological transition is too often seen as a cost. I want to make it an asset. To do this, I will set the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 in the Constitution. And I will create the tool that will allow us to move towards this goal. (translated)
