Gentechvrij

De rechter in Ecuador heeft het ministerie daar verzocht alle gentech gewassen te verbranden die illegaal worden verbouwd. Ecuador is namelijk een gentechvrij land. Omdat dat ministerie nog in beroep kan, richt men zich eerst op gentech soja die illegaal is aangeplant en waarbij Roundup wordt gespoten. Maar de strijd tegen de gentech anjers die daar in kassen worden gekweekt (net als in Colombia) en waar wij bezwaar tegen maken, gaat ook door. Dit schreef Mevr. E. Bravo ons via Twitter.

GMO CROPS AND THE RIGHTS OF NATURE by E. Bravo.

We ontvingen eergisteren een steunbetuiging uit Frankrijk. Deze luidt als volgt:

Dear Gentechvrije Burgers,

We, the Non-Governmental Organization “OGM dangers”, based in Paris, France want to object against the renewal of the placing on the EU market of the GM carnation Moonaqua (TM) in giving our support to the objections of De Gentechvrije Burgers (The European GMO-free Citizens) in The Netherlands. Their objections were sent to the Dutch Ministry of I and W.

I would also stress the fact that such an opposition proves that we do not oppose GMO only for alimentary risks. The will of power embodied in the possibility of genetically modifying plants and animals could lead to a “brave new world”.

On behalf of “OGM dangers” I, Hervé Le Meur, president of the NGO, done in Paris on January the 14th of 2019

Sincerely yours

Hervé Le Meur
