Protest Against Duplomb Law Outside French National Assembly In Paris
People gather for a demonstration for agriculture, the environment, and health, and against the Duplomb Law (Loi Duplomb), at the initiative of dozens of NGOs and farmers' organizations, in front of the National Assembly in Paris, France, on February 11, 2026. Senator Laurent Duplomb's law, adopted by Parliament in early July, facilitates water storage and the expansion of livestock buildings. However, another measure concentrates indignation: the conditional reintroduction of acetamiprid, a pesticide from the neonicotinoid family banned in France but authorized elsewhere in Europe and accused of being a bee killer by its critics (Photo by Adnan Farzat/NurPhoto).
