President Emmanuel Macron is to unveil global plans for France's future energy strategy, and in particular, the relaunch of the country's nuclear programme during a visit to Belfort on Thursday. With just two months to go until the election, it has become a divisive theme in the campaign debate.
"To guarantee France's energy independence and achieve our objectives, in particular carbon neutrality in 2050, we will for the first time in decades relaunch the construction of nuclear reactors in our country," Macron said in an televised address to the nation back in November.
