France's Minister for the Ecological Transition, Monique Barbut, resigned after lawmakers approved a bill allowing the use of two controversial pesticides, acetamiprid and flupyradifurone, which are known to harm bees. Barbut criticized the government's decision as a significant environmental setback, highlighting ongoing concerns about the pesticides' effects on human health and the environment. The approval has sparked significant backlash from environmental groups and opposition lawmakers, who argue it undermines scientific evidence and public health.
