Maybe there has been some change of mind and it has softened a bit but the anti AC thing used to be very real.
France has made studies about the harms of ACs. The German push to install heat pumps (which often are ACs too) including pretty generous subsidies was pretty controversial.
There are laws in many European countries/cities/etc that make it pretty difficult for both residents and homeowners to install ACs usually in the name of aesthetics.
Now during the heatwave it's of course less controversial that ACs would be a good idea.
