Anger of farmers: renewed mobilization in several departments – (franceinfo)
While the mobilization seemed to have died down after the government’s latest announcements, farmers gathered again to put pressure on the executive on Saturday February 17, particularly in Tarn and Doubs.
The tractors returned to Gaillac (Tarn) on Saturday February 17. This is where the angry movement of the farmers started. This time, they chose to build a wall in front of the Public Finance Center. “We are putting up a wall because we have the impression, for the moment, that the government, msir Attal, come up against a wall, it’s the central administration“, deplores Marie-Line Bruel, co-president of the FDSEA du Tarn.
“Nothing of substance has been done”
At the call of Rural Coordination, 80 farmers also gathered in Besançon (Doubs) in front of the prefecture. “I immediately felt that the proposals (from the government) were with a view to the Agricultural Show, to appease people, but nothing in substance was done.“, regrets one man. Still mobilized, particularly around the question of wages, the farmers intend to continue their movement and maintain pressure on the government.
