AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoChlordecone Compensation Moves Forward: France has officially recognized the State’s responsibility for long-term chlordecone pollution in Guadeloupe and Martinique, with the law now in force after publication in the Official Journal. It opens talks on extending existing compensation to victims whose illnesses are linked to pesticide exposure, and gives the government one year to report to Parliament on how to expand the scheme, funded in part by an added levy on tobacco products. The law also sets priorities: faster cleanup, support for affected agriculture and fishing, stronger research, and better care for victims. Community & Culture (Local Pride): Guadeloupe’s inaugural Kréyòl Pride is set for late July in Basse-Terre, organized by local LGBTQ groups with support from the Maison des Diversités et de l’Inclusion and regional partners, aiming to bring together LGBTQIA+ people, residents, and allies after years of tensions.
