Farmers from the Nièvre Rural Coordination launched an operation to cover the automatic radars on the evening of Monday, November 4, to show their anger at not being able to make a decent living from their work. And demand action from the government.
After the municipal signs turned over… the automatic radars covered. The Nivernais agricultural world is once again expressing its anger at not being able to make a decent living from its work, this Monday, November 4 in the evening. Since 8 p.m., at the initiative of Rural Coordination, several teams of farmers have stopped the department's speed control devices from flashing cars at too high a speed. “Without deterioration,” says Lydie Deneuville, the president of the union. Equipped with paint, the farmers accompany this tarpaulin with the inscription of a slogan, “Tic-tac”, to show the government that a “countdown is underway before new actions, before it explodes if we we don't get satisfaction. We want remunerative prices,” claims the leader of Rural Coordination.
“This is the last warning. We have been waiting for action for a long time. We are only offered measures which do not change anything in our situation which remains dramatic. The number of farms in difficulty and suicides is increasing. »
If they run out of time to cover all the radars during the night of Monday November 4 to Tuesday November 5, the farmers do not rule out continuing the following night.
