"The law is a symptom of a sick system that poisons us. The Duplomb law isn't the real problem. It's aggravating an already catastrophic system."
"If people don't react we'll find ourselves in a world where we cannot drink water or eat food that is uncontaminated, where a slice of buttered bread, or a cup of tea, poisons us."
Fleur Breteau confronted French MPs over their approval of a pesticide linked to cancer, resulting in a petition exceeding 2 million signatures. France's constitutional court unexpectedly struck down the Duplomb law, which aimed to reintroduce acetamiprid, citing violations of environmental rights. Breteau, a cancer survivor, expressed that the legislation represents a larger toxic issue in society. She called for urgent action to prevent contamination of food and water, emphasizing the necessity of addressing cancer's politicization as a crucial fight against a hazardous system.
