They ask for a meeting. The agricultural unions of the FDSEA and JA du Lot sent a letter this Wednesday to Christophe Proença, the deputy for Lot elected under the Nupes banner. The parliamentarian voted for the motion of censure on Wednesday December 4 aimed at dismissing the Barnier government. Not only did this not escape the notice of the Lot farmers, but it was also not really to their taste. “In such a crisis context, successive governments have made strong commitments to the agricultural world, the implementation of which has however been called into question by the dissolution of the National Assembly on June 9 and, today, by the adoption of a motion of censure which you were in favor of Without a budget, how can we honor all these promises Far from political games and bias, the JA and the FDSEA are asking for stability and visibility to provide answers? concrete. the feeling that the counters risk once again being reset to zero and that certain measures have disappeared with the government”, explain the two unions in a press release.
In the letter addressed to parliamentarians, the farmers also express their concerns about the “commitments” of the Minister of Agriculture, Annie Genevard concerning “health compensation, treasury support measures, and more broadly, the simplification of the regulation “. Finally, the union representatives ask the MP, “with a certain seriousness”, for a meeting “in order to hear you about your choice concerning this vote and to know your vision of the parliamentary work to be initiated or continued to enable us to respect the promises made to the
farmers”.
This Saturday, in Montamel, for the Socialist Party's Rose Festival, Christophe Proença confided that he “had no remorse” about his vote for the motion of censure. This Wednesday, the MP confirms to us that a meeting has been organized with the FDSEA and the JA du Lot and will be held next week. “I meet all the trade union organizations and in this context, I proposed an interview to these two unions. I will explain my position to them, they have nothing to worry about. I was one of the few deputies to speak in the Assembly to defend agriculture, particularly the nut sector, livestock breeding and viticulture.
