2027 Presidential Election: Marine Le Pen Wants to Repeal the Hulot Law on Hydrocarbons
Published
Marine Le Pen has announced that she wants to repeal the Hulot Law if she is elected in the 2027 presidential election. This text, adopted in 2017, concerns the end of hydrocarbon extraction in France, namely oil and natural gas.
The Hulot Law, named after former Minister of Ecological Transition Nicolas Hulot, prohibits the granting of new hydrocarbon exploration permits on French territory. It also prevents the renewal of existing permits. Its objective is to gradually end the production of fossil fuels in France, as part of the fight against climate change.
Marine Le Pen's proposal is part of the debate on energy policy. For its supporters, exploiting national resources could strengthen the country's energy independence and support certain economic activities. Its opponents, on the contrary, believe this measure would run counter to France's and the European Union's climate commitments.
The question of repealing the Hulot Law is therefore expected to be among the important themes of the 2027 presidential campaign. Voters will be able to compare the positions of the various candidates on energy, ecology and the economy before making their choice.
