PoliticsFrench environment minister announces plan to resign over approved pesticide bill

France’s environment minister, Monique Barbut, said on Wednesday that she would submit her resignation to President Emmanuel Macron. Her announcement followed parliament’s final adoption of a controversial measure concerning pesticides that harm bees. Barbut had opposed the measure. The planned resignation links the minister’s departure directly to the bill’s approval.
