French Environment Minister Monique Barbut announced on Wednesday that she intends to resign from her position. The decision follows the French parliament's final adoption of a controversial legislative measure regarding the use of bee-harming pesticides.
Barbut stated that she will submit her formal resignation to President Emmanuel Macron. Her departure comes as a direct response to the passage of the bill, which she had publicly opposed throughout the legislative process.
