“I no longer expect anything from politicians”
The farming world dreams of obtaining concrete progress, particularly in terms of the overtransposition of standards. This meeting in Matignon this Monday should bring nothing, according to Lionel Condé, president of the Gers Rural Coordination: “I think we will have nothing at all, right now,” he says.
-“I no longer expect anything from politicians. They’ve been telling us for a year that yes, it’s going to happen, yes, it’s going to happen. Promises, if you want some, there you go. We won’t get anything this Monday In any case, it’s not even certain that next week the government will still be in place. The big political game today is a little squabble. It divides everyone. nothing is moving forward.”

The elections to elect the presidents of the chambers of agriculture, scheduled for February 1, should take a break. But the farmers warn that if nothing changes between now and the results, they will resume demonstrations.
