The National Rally (RN), a prominent French political party led by Marine Le Pen, is set to push for the abolition of low-emission zones (ZFE) during its parliamentary initiative day on October 8 in the National Assembly. This comes after the Constitutional Council, which interprets the French constitution, annulled the ZFE measure in April. The ZFE had been part of the "simplification of economic life" law, but the Council ruled it unrelated to the original intent of that legislation. The RN had previously introduced amendments to abolish ZFE during earlier debates, despite resistance from the government. Pierre Meurin, a member of the RN and the bill’s author, argues that ZFE violate the republican values of freedom, equality, and fraternity. He describes the abolition of ZFE as an "urgent matter for many road users." The bill was scheduled for review in the sustainable development committee on September 30, but it was rejected in a close vote of 21 to 19. Although the bill remains on the agenda for the RN's parliamentary initiative on October 8, the political landscape in the National Assembly may differ from that of the committee. La France insoumise (LFI), a left-wing political group, previously supported an amendment to abolish ZFE but has stated it will not back the RN’s bill. LFI leader Mathilde Panot prefers a temporary halt, or moratorium, on ZFE rather than full abolition. LFI opposes ZFE for reasons including their potential to exacerbate social inequalities and the need for better public transportation. ZFE were introduced in 2019 as part of President Emmanuel Macron's environmental policy. They aim to reduce fine particle emissions by restricting access to the most polluting vehicles in urban areas. Critics argue that ZFE disproportionately affect vulnerable households that cannot afford compliant vehicles, effectively excluding 15 million French people from mobility in major cities. Some lawmakers, including Sylvain Carrière from LFI, acknowledge flaws in the policy but oppose its abolition without viable alternatives. Other political groups, such as Horizons and Together for the Republic, have raised concerns about the potential negative impacts of abolishing ZFE. They advocate for a legal framework that allows mayors to establish ZFE under oversight. The Republican Right group is the only one showing clear support for the RN’s bill. The RN claims it supports alternatives such as city parking lots, engine decarbonization, and targeted assistance for switching to less polluting vehicles, though these measures are not included in Meurin's bill. The outcome of the October 8 vote remains uncertain, with the absence of LFI support potentially affecting the result.
