Two alcohol prevention campaigns have been canceled. The non-broadcast is controversial and should have been broadcast during the Rugby World Cup. Associations denounce the weight of the wine lobby.
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 on the occasion of the Coupe du rugby world.
Link between the government and the wine lobby
The associations denounce the pressure from the wine lobby. “We know that with the current government, the connections between the alcohol lobby and him are quite strong. Not to assume the somewhat trapping role of alcohol in our culture in the name of culture, conviviality, not specifically work on alcoholol is a pity“, regrets Jean-Pierre Couteronaddiction specialist. The Ministry of Health says it puts more emphasis on prevention for young people.
