The Agricultural Show closed its doors on Sunday March 3, after an eventful week. What conclusions can we draw from this 60th edition?
End clap for the Agricultural Show, Sunday March 3, after a week which will go down in the history of the annual meeting. It opened its doors in the midst of a crisis in the agricultural sector. On the opening day, Saturday February 25, demonstrators entered the aisles to protest against the arrival of the President of the Republic. “It was a way to be heard, confides Alexandre Cipriani, farmer. Sometimes we say that it is necessary to bang your fist on the table a little.”
Visitors concerned by the situation
This 60th edition will have seen a large number of political figures parade. Éric Ciotti, Fabien Roussel, Jordan Bardella… Their wanderings did not always go as planned, like Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, who received a jet of beer. Despite the tense context, the visitors answered the call. “There would have been a failure if there had not been debate and discussions around the current situation of farmers. There is an expectation, even, from the public on this“, assures a visitor.
