Farmers had promised to demonstrate throughout France from November 15. But the delay in winter sowing in many departments seems to have decided otherwise. The land is too wet, especially for planting soft wheat. Farmers find it difficult to plan for a long movement without having completed this decisive stage for farms. In Loire-Atlantique, the first act will take place this Monday, November 18 in seven cities. And there will undoubtedly be others.
Actions will be carried out on Monday in seven municipalities of Loire-Atlantique
The National Federation of Farmers' Unions of Loire-Atlantique (FNSEA 44) and Young Farmers of Loire-Atlantique (JA 44) are sounding the alarm. For months our networks have been mobilized like never before
explains Mickaël Trichet, president of FNSEA 44. Lines are moving thanks to our actions, but not fast enough, not far enough. The government is procrastinating, taking measures… It’s unbearable. It is all the more unbearable since the summer and fall of 2024 are marked by a serious health crisis and catastrophic harvest conditions due to the weather in recent months. Finally, as if that wasn't enough, the signing of an agreement with Mercosur is back in the spotlight…
.
This is why FNSEA 44 and JA 44 are part of the national slogan and call for mobilization from Monday, November 18. But there is no question yet of repeating the major maneuvers of last spring. As many are still mobilized for sowing, there will be small groups of farmers who will pass messages, who will display banners, who will change the names of the municipalities… Stop the inconsistencies, no to Mercosur
.
Different actions will thus be carried out to make their voices heard. anger at the ignorance and inaction of the government
concludes Mickaël Trichet: At 2:30 p.m., meet in Missillac, at the Croix d'haut (D2); in the evening, in Pontchâteau, in Brignand (D773); at 7:30 p.m. in Ancenis at the Leclerc store parking lot; at 8 p.m. in Nort-sur-Erdre at the Europe roundabout (D164-D178); at 8:30 p.m. in Blain at the Europe roundabout (N171); at 8:30 p.m. in Châteaubriant at the La Ferrière roundabout (D178-D771); at 8:30 p.m. in Saint-Philbert-de-Grandlieu, roundabout near the gendarmerie (D61). Several other sporadic actions will be organized in the department. But this is only the beginning, says Mickaël Trichet.
