David Sève, president FDSEA of : “If we do not respond to people’s distress, I no longer answer for anything”

Farmers are mobilizing this Wednesday morning in . They have been in front of the MSA headquarters in Nîmes since 8 a.m. David Sève, the president of the FDSEA in Gard, was live at 8:30 a.m. on Bleu Gard Lozère: “People are in distress, it's very complicated. Hungry stomach has no ear. When we don't respond not to the distress of the people, they are becoming radicalized And it is more and more difficult I feel their difficulties Two or three times a week a farmer calls me. very great distress, and sometimes close to suicide. I'm proud that they manage to channel and be dignified. It's a virile, muscular demonstration, which remains correct, but for how long… because afterwards if we don't respond to people's distress, I no longer answer for anything.”

“For the moment, we are in one-off actions. We go up a notch each time hoping to be heard. Will we have to come to a blockage like last time? It is an action that begins to be reflected upon. A different action or even on the highway, I don't know yet

“The Minister of Agriculture did not call me. Nobody calls us, insists David Sève. Prefect of Gard does what he can, he brings it back, but even he…I sense the distress in him. Even he is surprised”
