Summary
French Green MP Sandrine Rousseau proposed nationalising TotalEnergies, labelling the company a threat to the future due to climate change and geopolitical factors. Although she lacks a parliamentary majority, her proposal echoes previous calls by other left-wing politicians such as Fabien Roussel and Clémence Guetté amid surging fuel prices driven by Middle Eastern conflict. In response to the crisis, President Emmanuel Macron convened party leaders to discuss energy policies, emphasising the need to address root causes rather than resorting to heavy spending, deficits, or tax hikes.
