The French state continues to deny responsibility in the chlordecone scandal, after authorising the use of the pesticide for years in banana plantations in Martinique and Guadeloupe. RFI met with several victims who are calling those responsible to account and seeking compensation.
The French state has recently filed an appeal against the decision of a Paris court of 11 March, which ruled that the state should compensate people who have been exposed to chlordecone.
