Result of this “on the sly” interview: an agreement was reached. “We made a pact with the prefect. I only have one word, I hope so too, continues Vincent Coco.
“The trucks were loaded with slurry, ready to leave”
This epilogue comes “three days after the start of the agricultural demonstrations in the department, led by Modef, the FDSEA and the JA then by the CR, and beyond the excesses observed at the DDTM which gave rise to a firm condemnation, recalls the prefect of Landes, who “notes that the demands of farmers have been heard at the national and local levels. »
“The President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry as well as the members of the government have taken very clear positions concerning their opposition to the draft Mercosur agreement, continues the prefect of Landes. They announced the examination in the Senate of the orientation bill for food and agricultural sovereignty and the renewal of generations in agriculture from January 2025 and affirmed their support for the agricultural profession and income. The commitments made will be kept point by point and methodically according to the terms of the Prime Minister. »
A road map
Concretely, a roadmap (read elsewhere) will be put in place. The Landes prefect “commits to continuing and accentuating dialogue and joint work with the Chamber of Agriculture and all agricultural unions, on the basis of a monthly plenary meeting, according to an operational agenda, on all the subjects that will be brought to its attention, whether collective or individual. »
“Meetings will be set up before the end of the month,” confirms Vincent Coco, “with commissions to find solutions, such as measuring margins for the cattle and waterfed sectors. I would like them to be labeled, known to the general public, to be clear and transparent to consumers and farmers. The progress obtained is for all farmers, whoever they are, whether affiliated to a union or not,” underlines the president of CR 40.
Access via Pémégnan
In the meantime, this Friday morning, from 8 a.m., access to Scalandes will be possible upon arrival from the penitentiary center. “I called Mr. Bouillard, the director, last night to tell him that he could resume his activity, the employees have nothing to do with it, nor the consumer. But by showing the muscles, we manage to find compromises. Now, the CR has Mr. Barnier’s number, I have that of the prefect,” he concludes.
