Editorial: Le Monde

• The discontent of the residents of Pas-de-Calais is evident in the face of recent natural disasters and the government's insufficient response.
• The overlap and confusion of responsibilities between private owner associations, the public, and the Intercommunal Institution of Wateringues (IIW) complicate disaster management.
• Tensions between the national and regional levels of government exacerbate the situation.
• Climate change will likely intensify precipitation in Northern Europe, potentially resulting in more natural disasters like this.
• It's necessary for political leaders to demonstrate that they can anticipate adaptations and assume a clear division of responsibilities between the local and national level.

Conclusion: If national unity is not achieved and political conflicts persist, populists may take advantage of the public's despair and resentment.
