Farmers are currently blocking access to a U warehouse in Sainte-Colombe-en-Bruilhois.
Since late morning, this Thursday, November 21, around forty farmers have been blocking access to the U Log warehouse in Sainte-Colombe-en-Bruilhois in Lot-et-Garonne. No slurry or waste dumped, for the president of the Chamber of Agriculture Serge Bousquet-Cassagne, it is a matter of “not making anyone jealous. Yesterday, it was Intermarché, today, it is Super U, tomorrow Leclerc Some of the CR47 have already blocked the one at Mont-de-Marsan. We remain static, we will be there as long as the cavalry leaves us there. We are not waiting for any more symbolic measures. We have been prevented from working for thirty years, we no longer have anything to say to them.”
Note that the demonstrators present at this blocking point were those who had participated in the rally in front of the Intermarché purchasing center in Bressols in Tarn-et-Garonne. The latter were dislodged by the police and decided to return to Lot-et-Garonne to take action.

“Bobo ecologists have no idea of reality”
The farmers present plan to stay “as long as necessary.” Benoît, a cereal grower in Montastruc, explains: “Through this type of action, we also want to make it known that not only do the brands buy our production from us at an unfair price, but what's more, the consumers themselves are being cheated! They pay The products are way too expensive, and we don't benefit from it. The people who make the decisions in Paris are all well and good, but the bohemian ecologists have no idea of the reality of things.”
