The mobilization of farmers enters its third day this Wednesday, with especially the Rural Coordination (CR) at work in the South-West, while the FNSEA hailed a “first victory” with the announcement, Tuesday, of a vote in the National Assembly on Mercosur. This free trade agreement between the European Union and the economic union of South American countries is not to the taste of France, which refuses to sign it “as is”, and makes farmers fear the worst French.
Less than a year after a historic mobilization, agricultural unions believe they have not made enough progress. Until then, the FNSEA-Young Farmers alliance has avoided organizing blockages like last year, favoring symbolic actions so as to “not annoy the French”. The Rural Coordination (CR) has raised its voice. Tuesday was thus “marked by the mobilization of the Rural Coordination union demonstrating a decidedly more offensive and determined state of mind than that of the JA or the FDSEA,” according to the authorities. What will happen this Wednesday? Follow the latest events with us, particularly with our journalists mobilized throughout the South-West.
