Resumption of actions
A few minutes earlier, around 10:40 p.m., they were expelled from the prefecture with a dozen farmers who had decided to stay inside this Tuesday evening. Everyone wanted to have a video with the Minister of Agriculture Annie Genevard.
In vain, after seven hours on site. The latter explained to the prefect that she did not have time to speak to them. “At the end of an interview lasting more than five hours with the Prefect, the Departmental Director of Territories and the Departmental Director of Employment, Work, Solidarity and Population Protection, the representatives of the Rural Coordination of Lot-et-Garonne refused to leave the prefecture and had to be escorted by the police, without incident”, indicated, for its part, the prefecture, in a press release.

Consequently, farmers resumed their actions in front of state services this Tuesday, November 19. And it's not over, the farmers promise, after “losing this first round”, that they will put greater pressure this Wednesday. “We are not giving up,” they added.
