Greenpeace has said that the first two licenses to grow GM maize on an experimental basis violates the Law on Biosafety of genetically modified organisms and puts at risk 55 landraces of maize.
During a rally in front of the Altar de la Patria, Greenpeace unfurled a black banner in the column of the Angel of Independence and black ribbons placed statues of Hidalgo, Vicente Guerrero and José María Morelos y Pavón to protest against those authorizations.
In an interview, the environmental group leaders Mary Patricia Aleida Arendar Lara Lerner and indicated that the transgenic maize the country is more dependent on the outside.
mentioned that with the introduction of transgenic corn to the Mexican countryside is given the coup de grace to food independence, and will return to corn farmers dependent four corporations.
stressed that activists must defend the application of the precautionary principle of the right of peoples to decide what foods to eat and how to produce them.
Therefore, they argued, who oppose the release of transgenic maize on the environment and the field testing, even on a small scale, involving risks genetic pollution, so it should be banned such authorizations.
argued that allowing GM reinforces the global power control for a few multinational companies and countries that unfortunately have massively adopted the use of such crops, ultimately affecting domestic producers. Representatives from Greenpeace
Mexico demanded that the federal authorities reinstate the moratorium on experimental plots of seed of that kind, according to scientific evidence gathered in the report "Origin and diversification of maize, an analytical review."
The paper raises the need for adherence to the precautionary principle at the risk of crop contamination in Mexico.
