French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announces €12 million in aid for regions in France’s southwest affected by recent wildfires, saying support is available “immediately.” The announcement comes as residents assess damage in towns affected by the fires.
Lecornu makes the visit to Le Porge in the Gironde region, where some locals jeer him over dissatisfaction with the government’s response. France 24 reports that 183 homes are ravaged by fire in Le Porge. Alongside the €12 million rebuilding budget, Lecornu also announces additional measures, including tax breaks for companies impacted by the disaster.
Across the coverage, outlets agree on the aid amount and the focus on rebuilding support in the wildfire-hit south. They differ mainly in emphasis: one outlet highlights the timing of the aid, while the other also details the additional package, including fiscal measures.
