“It’s a human drama added to a social drama,” laments Nicolas Dupont-Aignan

A woman died Tuesday morning in an accident on a dam near Pamiers, in Ariège. Farmers continue to express their anger while the government receives them to try to find solutions.

“It’s a human drama added to a social drama. When we let problems fester, they come back like a boomerang”deplored Tuesday January 23 on franceinfo Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, deputy for Essonne, president of Debout La France, after the death of a farmer in Pamiers in Ariège on a farmers’ dam. “The President of the Republic appointed Gabriel Attal supposedly to fix everything”to breathe “the renewal, but in truth it was a pure communication operation and now reality is returning. They live in a parallel world where they believe that communication slogans will solve the problems of the French”castigated Nicolas Dupont-Aignan.

“I and others have been warning for months. We cannot sign free trade agreements in Brussels, within the European Union, with the complicity of the French government, which allow us to always import no more products that do not respect any health or environmental standards, from the end of the world and, on the other hand, at the same time imposing crazy constraints on our farmers, with in particular the one that broke the camel’s back, the fallow, that is to say that the European Union with the agreement of the French government accepts that farmers are prohibited from cultivating part of their land. explains the MP. For Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, it is necessary “cancel the fallow immediately and say that we will not respect this agreement”.

“How can we not imagine the anger of farmers who are prohibited from working and who see cheaper products flooding in that do not respect any ecological standards?” asks Nicolas Dupont-Aignan. “We ask our farmers, who are the best ecologists in the world, more and more while we import products from countries where pesticides banned on our soil are authorized and dumped, but where is the consistency? They are sacrificing agriculture and the government is complicit in this.”denounces the president of Debout La France.
