They hear “keep the pressure on” on “the government“, explains Fabien Doudon, winegrower in Trets, to France Bleu Provence. “We made more than 120 demands, 20 of which were urgent. I’m going up to the Salon on Friday for five days and we really want to see if the demands we’ve made are moving forward, because the government has made proposals to us but we haven’t seen any response.“, he specifies. Before concluding: “We are waiting for concrete answers, we are not fooled“.
