France’s Socialist Party said a full review of the Hinkley Point project is needed before any decision is taken to build the British nuclear power plant, in effect siding with U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May over France’s Socialist President Francois Hollande.
“The Socialist Party believes that such an important project that could have such major impact on the solidity and continuity of the national energy company requires that all doubts be lifted and all questions answered before it goes ahead,” the party said in a statement published on its website.
