First, France launched a national authority 'emergency'.
Basically....if you are senior citizen or homeless guy/gal....the local city authority is ordered to 'provide' you cooling comfort...meaning public buildings (that are cooled) must drag out chairs and keep you cooled throughout the afternoons.
I thought over this....here in my village....there's no public building with cooling. In Wiesbaden....there might be twenty-odd public structures with some kind of cooling. In France? Unknown.
Second story....spokesperson for the German Green Party came up and said there needs to be a national 'moment' for the Germans dead from the June heat-wave.
They aren't saying a monument or statue....just some 30-second remembrance.
What the media says for a number? 5,000 is thrown around....saying the heat killed them. I won't vouch for the number or against it....just that it's a nice round number, and that usually means bogus facts.
If I were the SPD....I'd jump on this and have a statue of some type....symbolic of the sun radiating.
