“It went very badly, because we had a police force which was really disproportionate compared to the peaceful farmers who were opposite, so we had a very bad experience.”

Returning to her farm this Monday evening, Amélie Rebière, president of the Rural Coordination in Corrèze and national vice-president of the union, is disappointed after this day of mobilization which did not go, according to her, as planned: “the secretary general, after getting out of the taxi to speak to journalists, was taken into police custody. We have colleagues who were fined because they wore a yellow hat, because they wore a clothing sign that incited a demonstration… It was titled like that, so a 135 euro fine. Other colleagues were surrounded with tractors by the CRS or the mobile gendarmes, so we had a very bad experience, because there was excessive policing.”

Thus the president of the Rural Coordination of the Ardennes was fined, according to our colleagues from France 3 Champagne-Ardenne.
