The mobilization of farmers should continue in the days or weeks to come, since demonstrations are announced in December, according to the FNSE.
The FNSEA plans to mobilize farmers again, “everywhere in France”on December 9 and 10 around the theme of sector income, Arnaud Rousseau, president of the majority agricultural union, said on Friday.
This new wave of actions will be “around income, around the relationship with the price of our products, particularly in the context of the start of commercial relations, of negotiation with distributors. And therefore we will be in action”he said on RMC.
“We are dying with our mouths open”
In the regions, mobilization has not weakened. Again this week, Gard farmers hit hard. “We are dying with our mouths open,” says Fabien Chaussinand, general secretary of the Young Farmers of Gard, in his tractor, as he leaves the administrative site of Crédit Agricole, in Nîmes, to go to that of a logistics platform, in Garons.
Two of the sites visited this Wednesday, November 27 by a few hundred farmers from across the department, at the call of the Departmental Federation of Farmers' Unions (FDSEA) and Young Farmers (JA) of Gard. They came, during the night, from Saint-Gilles, Remoulins, Calvisson… to participate in the operation called “Alaska”.
After farmers' demonstrations against the Mercosur free trade agreement, MPs were due to vote for or against the agreement on Tuesday, November 26. A symbolic vote because it is in the European Parliament that the agreement is decided but which “will be particularly looked at” according to the Minister of Agriculture.
