Camembert purists relish victory over industrial dairy giants

16 Jan 2025  |  www.thetimes.com  |  English  |  Traditional vs Industrial Production

Traditional Camembert producers in Normandy have won a significant legal battle against industrial dairy giants, preventing them from labeling their machine-made cheeses as 'Made in Normandy.' This victory comes after decades of legal struggles, supported by Michelin-starred chefs, to preserve the authenticity of Normandy Camembert. The ruling aims to protect the traditional cheese's superior taste and quality, which is made with raw milk from Norman cows. The decision is seen as a relief for traditionalists who have faced challenges, including declining sales due to the popularity of industrial versions and competition from Italian mozzarella.

Pelicot trial sparks calls for ‘consent’ to be added to French rape law

20 Dec 2024  |  The Sydney Morning Herald  |  English  |  Pelicot Trial

The Pelicot trial has intensified calls for the inclusion of 'consent' in French rape laws, highlighting perceived inadequacies in current legislation. Campaigners, including law professors Audrey Darsonville and Carole Hardouin-Le Goff, argue for reforms to align with European obligations and emulate English law. The trial revealed gaps in the legal definition of rape, as defendants exploited the absence of explicit consent requirements. Despite video evidence, many defendants denied charges, citing misunderstandings about consent. The debate has gained traction, with significant public support for legal updates. However, critics like Anne-Cecile Mailfert caution against over-reliance on consent, citing challenges in proving it and low conviction rates in the UK. The trial underscores broader issues of toxic masculinity and systemic challenges in the French legal system.

The Israeli government unanimously voted to boycott Haaretz, the country's oldest newspaper, due to its critical coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict and calls for sanctions against Israeli officials. The decision, led by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, will end government advertising and subscriptions to Haaretz, which is known for its leftist stance and criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing coalition.
