Has the government been complacent? A campaign against the dangers of alcohol has been rejected by the Ministry of Health.
When the supporters’ glasses are filled, it’s a fight anti-alcoholism who toasts. According to a survey by Radio France’s investigation unit, two campaigns to raise awareness of the harmful effects of alcohol have been cancelled. They were to be broadcast at the beginning of September during the Rugby World Cup.
The ministry emphasizes prevention among young people
The associations denounce the pressure from the wine sector lobby. “We know that with the current government, the links between the alcohol lobby and it are quite strong. Do not assume the somewhat trapping role of alcohol in our culture in the name of culture, conviviality , not specifically working on alcohol is a shame”regrets Jean-Pierre Couteron, addiction specialist. The Ministry of Health says it puts more emphasis on prevention for young people.
