Laure Marivain, in Loire-Atlantique, September 30, 2024. THOMAS LOUAPRE / DIVERGENCE FOR “THE WORLD”
Emmy made her mother, Laure Marivain, promise to“go to the end”. Emmy died on March 12, 2022, after seven years battling cancer. She was 11 years old. “Go to the end” goes through a hearing scheduled for Wednesday October 9, at 2 p.m., before the Rennes Court of Appeal. “You need to let the world know, mom.”asked Emmy, whose photos, smiling, with her brother and sister, adorn the living room of the new family home that she has not had time to discover, in the Nantes region. Let it be known that Emmy didn’t get sick ” by chance “as doctors repeated to him. And “lift a taboo” : exposure of flower professionals to pesticides. “If I had been warned, my daughter would still be here” : Laure Marivain was a florist from 2004 to 2008 then a flower representative from 2008 to 2011 in Pays de la Loire.
According to information from Monde and the investigation unit of Radio France, Emmy is the first child whose death is recognized by the Compensation Fund for Pesticide Victims (FIVP). The FIVP admits “the causal link between the pathology [d’Emmy] and its exposure to pesticides during the prenatal period ». A first for a deceased victim. A first, too, for a flower professional.
The compensation proposed by the FIVP, on the other hand, only takes into account the damage suffered by “the rights holders”i.e. a lump sum of 25,000 euros for each of the child’s parents. It is this compensation that Laure Marivain and her husband are contesting before the Rennes Court of Appeal. “It’s as if Emmy and her family hadn’t suffered all these years”comments François Lafforgue, the lawyer for Mr. and Mrs. Marivain.
Between the diagnosis of B acute lymphoblastic leukemia, in January 2015, and her death, a complete remission and three relapses, Emmy spent four hundred and sixty-eight days in the pediatric oncology department of the Nantes University Hospital, carrying out medical examinations and interventions. surgical. Lower back bone pain, sciatica, headaches, vomiting, exhausting chemotherapy sessions, hair loss, weight loss, social isolation, fear of dying… The little girl’s ordeal is transcribed in the medical reports. That of Emmy’s family is not recorded anywhere. Contacted, the manager of the FIVP, the Mutualité sociale agricole, claims to have no “mandate to express itself on the compensation policy of the fund created by law”.
