Sabah paid four times higher than Sarawak for Pan Borneo Highway compensation because of existing road widths, says state works minister
But youth violence has become a prominent political topic in France in the run-up the European Parliament elections in June, as the far-right National Rally leaps ahead of President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party in opinion polls.Robert Menard, the independent far-right mayor of the southern town of Beziers, on Monday ordered all under-13s off the streets in three neighbourhoods from 11.00pm to 6.00am, unless accompanied by an adult, until September 30.
In 2018, the country’s highest administrative court nixed a similar order issued by Menard four years earlier because he failed to provide “elements to support the existence of particular risks relating to minors under 13”.With Macron’s party facing fierce competition from the National Rally ahead of the European elections, his government has been talking tough on youth violence in recent weeks.
Christian Estrosi, the centre-right mayor of the southern city of Nice, told BFM television he was mulling reinstating a similar curfew for under-13s in his city of more than 300,000 people.Hundreds of people, including union and NGO representatives, marched in Beziers on Tuesday against the policies of the far-right mayor, who has also backed a government plan to test school uniforms toward making them compulsory.
