“We can be pleased that the new phase of mobilization which is proposed by the representatives [syndicaux] or a phase of dialogue”, reacts, Thursday February 1, Matignon, after the majority unions FNSEA and Jeunes Agriculteurs called for suspending the blockades of farmers in France in view of the announcements of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.

The majority unions FNSEA and Young Farmers called for the suspension of blockades in France but promised to remain vigilant on the application of new measures announced shortly before by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. “We have decided that at present, in view of everything that has been announced (…), we need to change our modes of action and therefore we are calling on our networks (…) to suspend blockages and to enter into a new form of mobilization“, indicated the president of the JA Arnaud Gaillot, alongside the boss of the FNSEA Arnaud Rousseau, during a press conference in Paris at the headquarters of the FNSEA.

Among the conditions set for not resuming movement: “first results” before the Agricultural Show (February 24-March 3) then the adoption of an agricultural orientation and future law as well as European measures by June. Failing that, “we will not hesitate to re-enter a general mobilization movement”said Arnaud Gaillot.
