Chlordecone pollution: The ecologist Louis Boutrin files a complaint against the State
In the French West Indies, Chlordecone was used as an insectiside to eliminate Charençon from 1973 to 1993. In the Lamentin, in Martinique, Louis BOUTRIN, lawyer and president of Martinique Ecologie denounces the pollution of the island’s waterways and the inaction of the public authorities which knew the risks incurred since 1990. He lodged a complaint against the State which protected the banana lobby at the expense of the health of the Martinican people who used the polluted water of the rivers. He specifically quotes the ministers Jean Pierre SOISSON, Louis MERMAZ and Henri NALLET who gave a derogation to the prohibition of chlordecone.
