In addition to five French cities, Paris, Lille, Nantes, Grenoble and Clermont-Ferrand announced simultaneously on Thursday that they will ban pesticides in their area, hoping to force parliament to change laws.

Prior to the announcement, several smaller rural settlements had already made similar decisions near residential areas. The settlements concerned accuse the government of not taking action on one of the most pressing public issues in recent weeks. (MTI)
