What specific mechanisms currently ensure public input in major industrial projects in France, and how would the proposed decree change those mechanisms?

This decree bypasses the CNDP, a key body ensuring public consultation on environmental and socio-economic impacts of major industrial projects (e.g., mines, industrial platforms, fertilizer units). Removing mandatory CNDP involvement weakens citizen influence, potentially leading to less environmentally responsible projects and decreased public trust. The proposal affects local communities' ability to voice concerns regarding employment, traffic, water management, and health risks.

These actions highlight the government's efforts to balance free speech with social cohesion.
