Chlordecone scandal: “Prostate cancer soon recognized as an occupational disease”, announces Julien Denormandie

Nicolas Hulot, former minister, is accused of rape and sexual assault by various women. “We must be careful with this form of permanent suspicion. But speech must be freed. This issue of gender-based and sexual violence is a major cause of the five-year term. No other candidate proposed it in 2017 “, comments Minister Julien Denormandie on France 3 Sunday November 28.

“The government is investing to be able to repair the environment polluted by chlordecone in Martinique and Guadeloupe“, assures the Minister of Agriculture, who announces: “Prostate cancer linked to the use of chlordecone, very important in the West Indies, will be recognized as an occupational disease before the end of the year “.

An outbreak of avian influenza was detected in a farm in northern France. “Probably there will be more. We are in a state of total vigilance, particularly in the South-West, where farms are very numerous “, he says, recalling that “each farm slaughtered, there is compensation“. He calls on the French to “continue to eat foie gras, chicken and eggs, there is no risk “.

To better compensate for their crops destroyed by floods, frost or drought for example, farmers will be encouraged to take out private insurance next year. Julian Denormandie promises an affordable price “with rules common to all insurers, which will compensate up to a certain threshold. Above, it will be the State which will take charge “.
