French Citizens Mobilize to Oppose Reintroduction of Harmful Pesticide

Over a million people in France have signed a petition opposing the reintroduction of the bee-killing pesticide acetamiprid, which is set to be allowed under the new 'Duplomb law'. The law, supported by some farmers and lawmakers, faces significant public opposition due to concerns over its impact on bees, ecosystems, and public health. Despite the petition's size, legislative action remains unlikely unless further parliamentary debate is triggered, with President Macron holding the power to intervene.
