5G is coming soon in France and the subject has been unleashing passions for a long time.
The Head of State promised yesterday, in front of digital entrepreneurs, to "wring the necks of all false ideas" on 5G, the day after a column co-signed in the Journal du Dimanche by nearly 70 elected LFI and EELV - including Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Yannick Jadot - and calling for a moratorium on the implementation of the new mobile network.

The 150 members of the Citizen's Convention for the climate desired by Emmanuel Macron, had nevertheless demanded this measure in the 149 proposals submitted in June at the Elysee Palace.
Proposals he had undertaken to take up, with the exception of three, without citing 5G.
The reaction of Agnès Catoire, member of the 1st Citizen's Convention for the Climate.
