It's wrong framing.

France is not trying to reduce the amount of energy produced by nuclear generation, e.g. by actively phasing it out.

Instead, France strives to produce more energy with solar and wind generation, increasing its ratio to 50%. This will shift the ratio of nuclear down to 50%.

Well they gave a rather large amount of plants reaching their end of life pretty soon and a clear plan to not replace most of that with new nuclear plants. Hence the decreasing ratio. No framing, just announced reality. Not surprising, most nuclear nations have similar plans.
