The Figaro Letter of August 14, 2020

2020-08-14T05:01:17.034Z


What do we read that is interesting here? Barbara Pompili's turnaround on an insecticide, the reasons for Macron's engagement in Lebanon and a behind-the-scenes report at Saint Peter's in Rome.


Barbara Pompili had promised herself never to sacrifice ecology on the altar of the economy. When she was Secretary of State in the government of Manuel Valls, she therefore banned the use of a pesticide because it kills bees. Four years later, the Minister of Ecological Transition has not become a consumerist for whom only growth matters, but she has come up against a reality: without this insecticide, our sugar beet production is going to waste. So she decided to swallow her hat and allow it again. Temporarily, she swears.

As the neonicotinoid is in the news, we ask you the question: Do you approve of the temporary reintroduction of an insecticide to save sugar beets?

Have a great Assumption weekend, see you Monday!
