In a tense context where farmers' unions called for demonstrations in January, Matignon announced on Friday January 3 that François Bayrou would receive the four major unions in the sector.
The farmers' unions will be received by the Prime Minister on January 13, Matignon said, Friday January 3. The Rural Coordination (CR), however, considers this date too far away and has maintained its call to demonstrate, “in Paris” et “everywhere in France” starting Sunday, January 5, reported South West.
The organizations, namely the FNSEA, the Rural Coordination, the Peasant Confederation and the Young Farmers, will be received “in turn” by François Bayrou, said Matignon. “Subjects and emergencies” will be discussed. “They are making fun of us, they are only buying time. There is no will to move forward”declared Patrick Legras, spokesperson for the CR. According to union sources, Arnaud Rousseau, president of the FNSEA, will be received on the morning of January 13 and a meeting has been proposed at 2 p.m. with Véronique Le Floc'h, president of the CR.
Agricultural elections in January
The CR wants to obtain guarantees from François Bayrou for the defense of a “exception agricole” French, which focuses on the protection of small farmers. In recent days, she expected from the head of government a “engagement” on two points: “stopping the over-transposition of European rules in France” and the implementation of “controls on imports rather than on farms”explained the organization.
This meeting will take place in the context of elections to the chambers of agriculture, which will take place from January 15 to 31. This vote will determine the new balance of power between agricultural unions.
