Emmanuel Macron inaugurated Saturday, February 26 the Salon de l’agriculture in Paris. His visit was cut short due to the situation in Ukraine. The Head of State warned: “The war will last” and it will have consequences on the agricultural world in France.

A furtive reunion between the President of the Republic and the farmers. After the cancellation of the Agricultural Show in 2021 for health reasons, Emmanuel Macron wanted to inaugurate the 58th edition, Saturday February 26, despite the war in Ukraine which he mentioned in the face of agricultural representatives, in a serious tone: “This war will last (…) it will have an impact on our lives, it is also for the agricultural world and for the whole world of food.

Cutting of the traditional ribbon but, this year, no long wanderings among the animals, only a few exchanges with representatives of the sectors to hear their grievances and concerns. At 9 a.m., the President left the Salon and handed over to his Prime Minister, the situation was unprecedented. The marathon in the middle of cows and local products goes to Jean Castex. Several presidential candidates will be passing next week.
