It was one of the most vocal drivers of the agricultural movement in January. The Rural Coordination union in Lot-et-Garonne (CR47) intends to start a new mobilization by planning actions from November 19. CR47 calls on “all farmers” to mobilize in front of their prefectures “to demand a final boost from the government”.
“Without a strong and immediate decision from the State”, the next day, “farmers will block French food freight in order to give the government a taste of what our country will be like, tomorrow, without farmers”, adds the lot branch -et-Garonnaise of the union in a press release.
National mobilization
Contacted by AFP, one of its co-presidents, José Perez, clarified that it was a “national call already established in the Greater South-West, in Occitanie and New Aquitaine”. “We are going to ask the prefects for meetings on the 19th and if we have no response, we will block the country,” he added. “That leaves 15 days to finish harvesting the little harvest we have and to sow, and then we leave. »
The majority agricultural union alliance formed by the FNSEA and the Young Farmers (JA) has already announced national action “from mid-November”, without a precise date.
