After 11 days of an exceptional heatwave and in the face of the heavy human toll that is beginning to emerge, politicians are accusing the French government of "incompetence" and "inaction." This comes after health officials said Sunday there had been around 1,000 more deaths than expected compared to previous months.
"We must fully shed light on the looming, devastating human toll in order to determine political accountability," Marine Tondelier, leader of the French Greens, stated on social media platform X on Sunday morning.
