While several agricultural unions have called for a resumption of mobilization, Monday November 18, the executive is working to reassure the sector and promises to deploy measures already announced, decrypts BFMTV, Thursday November 14.
The fear of an extraordinary mobilization of farmers is generating cold sweats in the upper echelons of government. As reported by BFMTV, Thursday, November 14, Michel Barnier went to Brussels, Wednesday, November 13, to loudly remind the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, of France's opposition to the signing of the Mercosur Treaty,which would endanger our breeders“. “This agreement is not acceptable“, hammered the Prime Minister into the microphone of our colleagues while this agreement constitutes one of the central points of the rumble of the sector.
After last winter's agricultural crisis, new farmer demonstrations are planned from Monday, November 18 in France. The main agricultural unions appear determined and call for action”in all departments from Monday“. “We feel that the farmers are ready to start again, perhaps even stronger than last year“, underlines former Minister of Agriculture Dominique Bussereau. “Some of the angriest unions may be even angrier“, he also fears when talking about a hardening of the movement, while the Rural Coordination has already called for “paralyze and starve Toulouse“. “It is a union with very independent local committees. Everyone does what they want. Good luck bringing them home when there's going to be a bounty at the brothel“, points out a former ministerial advisor to Marc Fesneau, who was in office at the time of last winter's crisis.
Advancing the commitments of Gabriel Attal, Annie Genevard’s “obsession”
To ease tensions, the new Minister of Agriculture, Annie Genevard, also promised that the executive would keep the commitments announced by Gabriel Attal last February. Although several hundred million euros of aid have been released, farmers are struggling to see concrete progress in their daily lives. The Minister of Agriculture has never ceased before the Senate as before the Assembly to remind “son obsession” to move forward, confides a close friend of Annie Genevard. The government could also face popular pressure from the French, who largely supported the mobilization of farmers at the start of the year. According to an Elabe poll for BFMTV, 82% They always show sympathy and even support for the movement.
