This Sunday, the Minister of Climate and Environment Zakia Khattabi, member of the Ecolo party, was the guest of the show Face à Buxant. The head of the list in Brussels for the next elections answered numerous questions from our journalist Martin Buxant.
Among these, a question on a measure taken in France, more precisely in Paris, where Anne Hidalgo, socialist mayor of the French capital, wants to make parking pay three times more for large cars, SUVs, with a rate of 18 euros per hour. An idea that the minister welcomes. “This is a good measure. In Paris, the space occupied by these large cars is space that is no longer available for pedestrians. In the event of an accident, it is also heavier and more dangerous“.
The same thing in Brussels?
Why not import this type of measure to Brussels, asks our journalist. As a reminder, Zakia Khattabi will appear in Brussels next June. “You should know that in Brussels some streets are now one-way, because there is no room for two cars to pass. For the same environmental and safety reasons, there is a study which is underway and which will undoubtedly make it possible to analyze the question in the future.“, she says.
Does this mean that today’s ecology is only regarding fighting big cars? “No, it’s fighting for a quality of life that is the same for everyone. Whether you are in Saint-Josse or Woluwé, the quality of the air means that life expectancy decreases by 5 years in the first municipality mentioned. The ecological transition is for me an imperative of social justice“, she concludes.
