Anger of farmers: the government has opened “62 construction sites”, says Christophe Béchu – (FRANCE 2)
Christophe Béchu, Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, was the guest of “4 Vérités” on France 2 on Thursday.
Gabriel Attal’s announcements left farmers hungry on Wednesday February 21. The latter, angry, continue to carry out actions in France. Is dialogue becoming impossible? “I don’t think that at all.”replied Christophe Béchu, guest of “4 Vérités” on France 2, Thursday morning. “A fed-up voice was expressed. (…) And in the space of a few weeks, 62 projects have been opened, including 32 which have already been closed because the results have been obtained and around thirty which are continuing.affirmed the Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion.
The thorny subject of pesticides
Christophe Béchu also returned to the thorny subject of pesticides. France will abandon Nodu, the indicator which currently measures the reduction in pesticide use. This will be replaced by a European indicator, the Hri1, to the great dismay of environmental associations. “Over the last five years, in this country, in accordance with the commitments of the President of the Republic, we have eradicated 97% of the most dangerous pesticides”said the minister.
