Corrèze farmers are angry and motorists will be able to see it. This Tuesday evening, through a punch operation, bales of straw were installed on various roundabouts in Malemort with the message “No to Mercosur” and a signature I FDSEA.
At 8 p.m., around ten tractors are there, at the roundabout at the entrance to the town, that of Leroy Merlin. The axis is only blocked for a short time, it is“a punchy action” explains Francis, farmer in Sainte Féréole, “ we will put balls of wrapping and we will write “no to Mercosur-FDSEA-JA”
The announcement of the signing next week of a free trade agreement between Europe and Mercosur (the Common Market of South America) during the G20 in Brazil does not pass:
« For me, it is unfair competition with our French farmers; ils will send us meat which n’has no health standards, no European standards, nothing at all. So we say no to that and we will be firm on that”
Other wrapping balls are installed in front of the gendarmerie, at the town hall roundabout and at the Simone Veil roundabout. The idea, through motorists, is to appeal to the population: “it will be a surprise for them, they will see that we are starting to get fed up ».
“We will end up re-blocking roads”
An anger that could go far: “Like the other time…” specifies another demonstrator, echoing the demonstrations at the beginning of the year.
We've been talking about it for so long, even on the networks, we're talking, we're talking and there's nothing going forward and well, we're showing that we're getting more and more angry and that 'at the end, it's going to end that we're going to re-block the roads »
At the national level, FNSEA and JA called for a resumption of actions starting Friday.
