Pollution episode in Grenoble in 2017 - JEAN-PIERRE CLATOT / AFP

In 1991, the Unknowns sang Pollution, I say no , in a parody of the regional newspaper of FR3 Brittany. Nearly 30 years later, the Council of State implements these words: it ordered this Friday the government to take measures to reduce air pollution in several cities and regions, under penalty of a record penalty 10 million euros per semester late.

This penalty is the "highest" amount ever imposed "to compel the state to execute a decision made by the administrative judge," said the Council of State.

This institution had already judged in 2017 that the State was not respecting its commitments in this area.
