After symbolic actions – fires of anger, rallies – claimed in 85 departments last week and particularly in Isère, agricultural unions are once again planning to occupy the land until Thursday evening. And it starts this Tuesday, November 26. Several farmers left early around 5 a.m. near Vienna, towards Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, at the call of Rural Coordination, where they want to block the Lidl logistics platform from 6 a.m. this morning. They are planning filter barriers on the roundabouts near the depot, but also to open the refrigerated trucks to check if they contain French products. The farmers plan to stay there for several days.
Demonstration at the Tour du Pin this afternoon
Any other action this afternoon in La Tour-du-Pin: the FDSEA calls for demonstrations in front of the sub-prefecture at 1 p.m. before a meeting with the sub-prefect on the subject of cleaning the ditches. If they are not maintained, this increases the risk of flooding. The union also demands compensation when the Bouchage plain is flooded to prevent the Rhône from overflowing in Lyon. Around ten tractors are expected on site.
Farmers intend to increase actions on Tuesday against “barriers” and “standards” after a first week of actions against the Mercosur free trade treaty, which will be the subject of a debate in the Assembly later. -noon. The Minister of Agriculture will, with her counterpart delegated for Foreign Trade, Sophie Primas, take the government's word to the National Assembly where a debate and then a vote on this treaty will be held.
