Young Farmers 79 and FNSEA 79 announce new actions in Deux-Sèvres from Sunday November 17, 2024. From this date in the evening, municipal panels will be covered across the department. “These actions will mark the start of larger-scale mobilizations in Niort and in the following days”warn the two agricultural unions.
“While farmers are waiting for the political announcements of early 2024 to materialize, we have just experienced one of the worst periods in recent decades: harvests at half mast, devastating climate, rampant diseases, threats of international agreements »explain the FNSEA and the JA who say they have the feeling that the “government is taking us for a ride”.
The two unions oppose Mercosur, a free trade project between the European Union and five South American countries. They are calling for economic and cash flow measures and a « drastic administrative and normative simplification ». Between the end of October and the beginning of November, the JA claimed responsibility for the removal of 200 to 250 municipal signs which they symbolically hung on the gates of the prefecture on Thursday November 7.
