Monique Barbut withdraws her resignation and remains Minister for Ecological Transition
Just hours after announcing her resignation, the Minister for Ecological Transition, Monique Barbut, ultimately agreed to remain in the government. Her office indicated that she would continue her duties at the request of the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron.
The minister announced her resignation earlier in the day due to her opposition to the emergency agricultural law, which notably includes the conditional reintroduction of two pesticides. She denounced it as an "environmental setback" and argued that debate on this measure had been stifled.
Despite this disagreement, Monique Barbut ultimately chose to remain in her position, citing "the urgency of acting against the consequences of climate change," according to her entourage.
