“The rebellious parliamentary group will deposit in its parliamentary niche a law of total abrogation of the Duplumb law,” Mathilde Panot announced on Sunday, the LFI deputies, during a speech to the summer universities of the radical left movement. “Thanks to the exceptional mobilization that there was during the summer, thanks to the remedy that we rebellious, have filed with the Constitutional Council, we won a first victory,” she launched. But “there are absolutely only horrors in this law,” said the Val-de-Marne deputy, accusing the latter of “promoting factory farms (…) and megabassines”. “Between the interests of money and the survival of the human species, we must choose. And we have chosen,” she said.
The next parliamentary “niche” of rebellious France, a day during which a group fixes the agenda in the assembly, will be on November 27. The DUPLOM law intended to lift the constraints weighing on the profession of farmer, adopted in parliament in early July with the support of macronists, LR and the extreme right, was the subject of a vast protest movement, including within the scientific world. A petition demanding its repeal brought together more than 2.1 million signatures on the site of the National Assembly, unheard of, allowing the holding of a future debate, essentially symbolic, in the Assembly.
On August 7, the Constitutional Council censored the most contested provision of the Duplomb law, which provided for the reintroduction under the conditions of a prohibited pesticide of the family of neonicotinoids. The following week, Emmanuel Macron promulgated the law, by dismissing the possibility of requesting a new deliberation from the Parliament.
