- French President Macron refuses minister’s resignation after dispute over pesticide bill
French President Emmanuel Macron refused to accept the resignation of environmental transition minister Monique Barbut, who opposed a controversial bill allowing temporary exemptions for pesticides harmful to bees. The legislation permits the use of acetamiprid and flupyradifurone, restricted in France but permitted under EU rules, on crops like sugar beet and apples.
