Il costo umano dei pesticidi

Il reportage redatto da Pablo Ernesto Piovano documenta i danni alla salute umana provocati dall’esposizione ai pesticidi, liberamente commercializzati e impiegati nel trattamento di colture alimentari, giardini e campi sportivi.
Il riflettore viene puntato con particolare attenzione sul glifosato, principio attivo del Roundup, erbicida di produzione Monsanto commercializzato e utilizzato fin dal 1974.
L’esposizione a questa sostanza può provocare sterilità maschile, malformazioni del feto nel corso della gravidanza, cancro; il glifosato, finendo nel nostro organismo, attacca le pareti del tratto gastrointestinale, uccidendo i batteri benefici che ospitiamo e mettendo a serio rischio la nostra salute: l’80% delle difese immunitarie si trovano proprio in questi organi.

Today during the early afternoon, several families, with many woman and children, were holding a protest against the living conditions and the police violence in the jungle. This family protest was prevented from taking place by very large numbers of CRS. The CRS blocked the protest at the end of Rue des Garennes. The CRS showed up with eight vans and between 30 and 40 cops. They were equipped with shields and helmets. They brandished their bats and pepper spray cans. They even sprayed woman and children with cans of pepper spray from very close range. There were also baton rushes towards groups that included children. One woman present was thrown on the floor and police tried to steal at least one camera. By blocking this peaceful protest the French state is once again hiding whats happening in the jungle from the public and once again inflicting violence on people that fled to Europe seeking safety.
