en-Velin / Rillieux | Environment. Neonicotinoids: Anissa Khedher voted against

The bill that allows temporarily reintroducing neonicotinoids in the beet industry was adopted on Tuesday. The member of the 7e constituency, Anissa Khedher (LREM), voted against. “Neonicotinoids are known to kill bees, which are essential for biodiversity, pollination and therefore agriculture. When it came time to vote, I could not overlook the difficulties faced by sugar beet producers. However, that would be forgetting all the other farmers who choose to transition to organic farming.

We must not give up on the achievements in preserving the environment, we can support our farmers towards a sustainable agricultural model that is more respectful of nature, so I decided to vote against the text ”
