I find the following lamentable especially since no one reacted in the media after this statement!

It's the realization that tomorrow's growth will not look like yesterday's growth. We need growth and jobs for you and your children. But we cannot sacrifice the balance of the planet. Growth tomorrow will be sustainable or it will not be.
And defending the environment is too strategic, it is too crucial for simply belong to a small sectarian group. Large groups of governments must be convinced of the need to produce differently. We must continue to produce in France if we want to have jobs for everyone. But we will produce in a sustainable way and what I announce with the ministers, Dear Michel BARNIER, on the forest, I will do it for other decisive sectors for the balance of the planet. France must lead by example.
Sarkozy treats, correct me if I am wrong, all the ecologists of "small sectarian group" and therefore does not consider the "Greens" as a large government formation ... How many Green ministers were there in government in the past?
