Poland’s outgoing governing party claimed (absurdly) that its opponents would force people to eat “worms instead of meat”. In France, where consumption per person of…#conservatives #labour #poland #rolandbarthes #fabienroussel #communistparty #sandrinerousseau #green #communist (Source: Reuters: Health)
