In a lengthy message posted on social media, Bruno Bernard, Green Party president of the Lyon Metropolitan Area, responded to the Assembly's vote to abolish the ZFE (Undeveloped Zones of Urban Development). The elected official expressed his anger at this decision.
It's a vote that's not going down well, and one that will certainly be hard to swallow for Bruno Bernard, president of the Lyon metropolitan area. This Wednesday evening, members of parliament in the National Assembly voted to abolish ZFEs in France. A choice synonymous with a " tragic setback " for the Green Party representative, who reacted to this news in a very long message posted on his social media.

" I feel a deep sadness, mixed with anger, at this decision that relegates public health to the rank of a negotiable priority, sacrificed on the altar of political calculations and a populist complacency that is gaining ground, " begins Bruno Bernard. Before continuing: " At the Métropole de Lyon, we have always assumed, even in unpopularity, that health must be the absolute priority. The National Assembly has made the opposite choice. "
Last night, amid the turmoil of parliamentary debate, an amendment was passed: the abolition of Low Emission Zones (LEZs), even in our metropolitan area of Lyon. This decision, supported by a majority of MPs, is a tragic step backward.
