French individual distributes 600 condoms to deputies in an attempt to prevent reproduction
In an unusual turn of events, Pierre le Zigo, a resident of the town of Lodève, France, sent 600 condoms to the National Assembly on September 17, 2020. The condoms were accompanied by a message urging lawmakers to "Stop Breeding." This is not the first time Mr. le Zigo has engaged in provocative stunts, as he staged a protest outside the former headquarters of the Socialist Party in 2016, aimed at "preserving the last gasps of socialism."
Meanwhile, the U.S. government has reportedly taken a different approach. According to a news source, the U.S. government burned contraceptives and birth control worth $10 million, purchased by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for distribution in poor countries as humanitarian aid. The White House has also paused several programs to assess their effectiveness and ensure the rational use of taxpayer funds, and has cut excess funding, including $50 million for condoms in Gaza.
However, the exact nature of the programs that have been paused is not specified, and the response of the National Assembly to Mr. le Zigo's condom protest is not mentioned. Furthermore, the article does not mention any connection between the U.S. actions and the National Assembly of France, nor any reaction from France to the U.S. actions. Similarly, the response of the international community to the U.S. actions is not mentioned.
It is important to note that this news is not related to Mr. le Zigo or his actions, and there is no information in the provided search results about who Mr. le Zigo is or how often he has conducted provocative protest stunts in the past. The information about the condom protest and the earlier stunts was reported by France Bleu, while the information about the U.S. burning contraceptives and cutting funding was reported by a news source, but not specified in the text.
