Launched by a student, the petition against the Duplomb law, which reauthorizes certain pesticides considered dangerous in French agriculture, has already accumulated more than 220,000 signatures on the site of the National Assembly. Given its fulsome and unprecedented success, it is not impossible that the initiative reaches it by 500,000.
The petition, which denounces the reintroduction of a pesticide from the neonicotinoid family, is the second most sustained in history on the site of the Lower House.
Almost 200,000 people signed the petition filed more than a week ago by a student.
The petition has already received more than 200,000 signatures in the space of eight days. The Conference of Presidents of the National Assembly may decide to hold a debate in public if it collects at least 500,000.
Presented on the National Assembly site, this petition denounces "a scientific, ethical, environmental and health aberration" and calls for the repeal of this law.
