LFI will submit a bill to repeal the entire Duplomb law

La France Insoumise will submit a bill in its next parliamentary "niche" in the National Assembly to repeal the entire Duplomb law on agriculture, announced Mathilde Panot , the leader of the rebellious deputies, on Sunday during a speech at the summer universities of the radical left movement .

"Thanks to the exceptional mobilization that took place during the summer, thanks to the appeal that we, the Insoumis, filed with the Constitutional Council, we have won a first victory," she said.

On August 7, the Constitutional Council censored the most controversial provision of the Duplomb law, which provided for the conditional reintroduction of a banned pesticide from the neonicotinoid family.

But "there are absolutely nothing but horrors left in this law," said the Val-de-Marne MP, accusing it of "favoring factory farms (...) and mega-basins."

"Between the interests of money and the survival of the human species, we must choose. And we have chosen," she added. The next parliamentary "niche" of La France Insoumise, the day during which a group sets the agenda for the Assembly, will be on November 27.

The Duplomb law, intended to lift the constraints weighing on the farming profession , adopted in Parliament at the beginning of July with the support of the Macronists, LR and the extreme right, was the subject of a vast protest movement , including within the scientific world.

A petition calling for its repeal has gathered more than 2.1 million signatures on the National Assembly website, an unprecedented number, allowing for a future, essentially symbolic, debate to be held in the Assembly.

The following week, Emmanuel Macron promulgated the law , ruling out the possibility of requesting a new deliberation by Parliament.
