Anger is growing in the agricultural world. The rural Coordination union in Lot-et-Garonne (CR47), particularly virulent during the agricultural anger movement in January, called on Monday for a new mobilization from November 19 and to block rail freight for lack of response from the State.
“End of the countdown, time for the agricultural revolt! »: the CR47 hopes for a “final start to the government”. “Without a strong and immediate decision from the State”, from the day after November 19, “farmers will block French food freight in order to give the government a taste of what our country will be like, tomorrow, without farmers”, adds the Lot-et-Garonnaise branch of the union in a press release.

“We will block the country”
Contacted by AFP, one of its co-presidents, José Perez, clarified that it was a “national call already established in the great South-West, in Occitanie and New Aquitaine”. “We are going to ask the prefects for meetings on the 19th and if we have no response, we will block the country,” he added. “That leaves 15 days to finish harvesting the little harvest we have and to sow, and then we leave. »
The majority agricultural union alliance formed by the FNSEA and the Young Farmers (JA) has already announced national action “from mid-November”, without a precise date.
At the end of January, the CR47, the majority in the department where he has headed the Chamber of Agriculture for two decades, initiated a large convoy of tractors towards the national interest market of Rungis, a few days after lighting an impressive fire of agricultural waste in front of the prefecture in Agen.
