Far from the European Eldorado, slavery in Lot-et-Garonne

Summarize : The appeal trial of a farmer who employed Senegalese irregularly, making them work up to 13 hours a day without ever paying for them, testifies to the existence of situations close form modern slavery in our land. Yet without condemnation of agricultural model that encourages this abuse, the facts are minimized or justified and rarely reported because of the lack of knowledge and resources of foreign workers.
