“Hi is Leo, what does that say?”
More than 1.2 million people have signed a petition against the Duplumb law, which reutures a controversial pesticide. The mobilization is massive … but not necessarily effective: the law is voted, and even if a debate can now be organized at the start of the school year, no vote will be able to cancel it. The opponents hope, however, that President Emmanuel Macron decides not to promulgate the text. But there, it is he who has his hand.
In Béziers and Limoges, young people set fire to garbage cans or the police this weekend. The extreme right points to drug trafficking and accuses consumers of feeding this system. The association of mayors of France also regrets that communities sacrifice preventionlack of means.
And then direction the Dordogne, where 300 members of the “Rainbow Family” posed their tents for the summer in Saint-Barthélémy-de-Bussière. Nudity, collective cuisine and loincloths in ferns: welcome to the heirs of the hippies of the 1970s. The movement, born after the Vietnam War, continues to make followers … and to surprise the locals, invited to sleep in a collective.
