Arnaud Rousseau will be visiting the department on Thursday January 9, as part of the professional elections, which will be held from January 15 to 31 in all departments of France. The president of the FNSEA will visit a farm in Albret, where the various ills from which agriculture suffers will be discussed, alongside many farmers. The crisis and political tensions of recent months will also be on the menu for this day, which will conclude with a closed-door visit to the Cœur de village store, managed by FDSEA 47, in Boé-village.
The choice of Lot-et-Garonne, where Rural Coordination has been in the majority for more than twenty years, is not insignificant for the cereal producer Rousseau, who has already set foot on departmental soil on November 22, on the occasion of the Congress of vegetables from France, in Agen.
Welcoming committee
Will he be entitled, this Thursday, to the same reception committee as a month and a half ago? As a reminder, CR 47, despite its denials in the morning, had blocked access to the Convention Center, with the aim of discussing with the president of the FNSEA. Who had refused to dialogue under duress. He then escaped under police protection, in an unmarked car, via a delivery route at the Intermarché supermarket. The only access that CR 47 had failed to block… Alongside Arnaud Rousseau, more than 300 delegates were forced, for more than an hour, to remain confined within the premises of the establishment.
This action by the Rural Coordination had aroused numerous reactions of indignation, starting with that of the prefect of Lot-et-Garonne, Daniel Barnier, but also from Jean Dionis, faithful ally of CR 47.
