After last winter's revolts, the farmers Lot-et-Garonne, led by Rural Coordination 47, relaunch their mobilization this Tuesday, November 19, 2024one day after the FDSEA, the first agricultural union in France.

Early in the morning, they arranged to meet at several points in the department to then converge towards Agen, where they are expected at 10 a.m..

Horns in support of farmers

In Port-Sainte-Marie, around thirty tractors were waiting from 8:30 a.m. to wait for their colleagues coming from the west of Lot-et-Garonne, from the surroundings of Marmande and Tonneins, in particular.

The procession causes some slowdowns managed by the national gendarmerie but no movement of discontent against farmers is to be deplored.

On the contrary, the convoy was regularly honked in supportby truck drivers, taxis or even by train drivers passing right by.

If the Rural Coordination considers that its demands are not being heard, it plans a long mobilization which will tackle food freight in particularwhich should be blocked from this Wednesday, November 20, 2024.
