法国环境转型部长莫尼克·巴尔布特因政府通过允许使用两种被禁农药的紧急法案而宣布辞职。1该法案于周二经法国议员表决通过，授权临时使用乙基咪唑啉和氟吡菌胺两种农药。1
巴尔布特对政府的做法表示强烈不满。1她指责政府违反了此前的承诺，并阻止了移除相关条款的任何辩论。1在社交媒体上，巴尔布特表示："过去九个月，我为那些不示威、不投票、不呐喊的人辩护...今天，我必须承认反对这些目标的力量已经变得如此强大，以至于我不再有手段来实现这一雄意。"1她将于周三向法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙提交辞呈。1
这两种农药被授权用于糖甜菜、苹果、榛子和樱桃种植。1其中乙基咪唑啉自2018年以来在法国被禁用，因其对蜜蜂和其他授粉者的危害。1科学家指出这两种农药对蜜蜂有害。1
巴尔布特是在去年10月被任命为环境转型部长的。1法国最高法院曾在一年前阻止了一项有争议的农业法的关键部分，当时理由是该法未能保护环境和未来几代人。1
France's Minister of Ecological Transition Monique Barbut has resigned in protest over an emergency agricultural bill that permits the temporary use of two previously banned pesticides 1. The legislation passed through French lawmakers on Tuesday, authorizing the use of imazalil and flutriafol, both substances scientists have identified as harmful to bees 1.
Barbut, who was appointed to the position in October of the previous year, will submit her resignation to President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday 1. She objected to the government's passage of the measure, which she said violated prior commitments and prevented any debate on removing the controversial clauses 1.
The authorized pesticides are designated for use on sugar beets, apples, hazelnuts, and cherries 1. Imazalil has been banned in France since 2018 due to its demonstrated dangers to bees and other pollinators 1.
In a social media statement, Barbut expressed her frustration with the outcome: "Over these past nine months, I have advocated for those who do not protest, do not vote, do not shout... Today, I must acknowledge that the forces opposed to these objectives have become so powerful that I no longer have the means to achieve this ambition" 1.
The resignation reflects ongoing tensions over environmental protections in France. A year prior, the country's highest court had blocked key provisions of a contentious agricultural measure, ruling that it failed to adequately protect the environment and future generations 1.
