“Inflation is hitting us hard, leading to growing demotivation among young and old alike,” Éloi Nespoulous and Mathieu Galliou, the two co-presidents of CR12, wrote in an open letter a few weeks ago. “To stop this bleeding, there are not fifty solutions: we must review the prices.”
Stabilizing our operations in the long term”
“We are asking for prices aligned with those of other countries, prices which would allow us to stabilize our operations in the long term, to encourage investment and to save local artisanal businesses. Passion is good but remuneration decent is better.”
This Thursday morning around fifty gendarmes supervise the gathering which takes place peacefully. At the end of the morning or early afternoon a delegation from Rural Coordination meets with the company Vernières Papillon then Société.
