A delegation received at the DDT premises and another at the French Biodiversity Office this Tuesday afternoon. After their action last Monday in front of the Haute-Vienne prefecturein Limoges, the FDSEA and the JA favor dialogue. “Without bringing things up, things will never move. We are here to work and build”summarizes Julien Bonneaud, secretary general of the FDSEA 87 and breeder in the Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche sector, “We do not condone going and dumping manure constantly, we have done it and we will do it again if necessary. But today, we know that it is not always by yelling that we get things done“.
The agricultural union rejects the national message which has chosen to focus the coming weeks of mobilization. At the DDT, he exhibited around twenty concrete cases including that of Aurélien, installed in the canton of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, checked for the same thing three times in a month and a half by the DDT then the ASP, in charge of payments. The example of Guillaume in Château-Chervix, who for a year has wanted to build a livestock building to shelter his 100 cows in the winter. “They did not expect things like that and recognize that things are not going well at all, that it is making our lives more complex. They have noted and will report it. We will have answers, things will change”.
“Listen to people who are respectful of public property”
The dialogue was also constructive with the French Office for Biodiversity. The departmental head, Philippe Goursaud, recognizes slowness and cumbersomeness but also admits that locally the room for maneuver is limited. On the other hand, he appreciates the approach.
The headquarters of the OFB was targeted by Rural Coordination last weekand Philippe Goursaud filed complaint after damage to his service vehicle whose rear window has been broken: “There are behaviors that are diametrically opposed and we cannot have a particularly attentive ear and listen to people who are respectful of public property and who behave as citizens.”
Representatives of the FDSEA also met this Tuesday with the president of the Department of Haute-Vienne, Jean-Claude Leblois, and are also awaiting a return of their request for a meeting with the three deputies. Next week, the theme will be income. Action is being prepared towards the Region, whose first vice-president is none other than the mayor of Bessines-sur-Gartempe, Andréa Brouille.
