In France, the reintroduction of acetamiprid through the Duplomb law has generated significant public backlash, accumulating over 600,000 petition signatures opposing the legislation. Public health and environmental activists emphasize the toxic effects of acetamiprid on pollinators and ecosystems. The law aims to ease restrictions for farmers but raises concerns about biodiversity and food security. Notably, the petition urges the law's immediate repeal and suggests a consultation for input from various stakeholders, highlighting a growing demand for responsible and sustainable agricultural policies.
"It represents a frontal attack on public health, biodiversity, the coherence of climate policies, food security, and common sense," said Eleonore Pattery.
The petition calls for the "immediate repeal" of the law and a "citizen-led consultation involving health, agricultural, environmental and legal stakeholders."
