“Nantes reached 42.2°C. Faced with heatwaves, Europe must act now,” said Socialist Party MEP Christophe Clergeau. Following the historic heatwave that hit Nantes, with a record temperature of 42.2°C, Clergeau sounded the alarm. In the face of the emergency, he denounced the inaction of the right and the far right and called for strong European policies, including major funding to adapt housing, schools and hospitals in order to protect the most vulnerable people. No one is safe anymore; mobilisation must be general.
