There is a shortage of water in dozens of French villages. For example, washing the car is now prohibited. Golf clubs largely escape the dance. According to a spokesman for the French Golf Federation, “a golf course without greenery is like an ice rink without ice,” Gérard Rougier told news website France Info.
The French mayor, Éric Piolle of Grenoble, joined the protest against the golf clubs. “We will continue to protect the rich and powerful.”
