Almost two weeks after the end of the farmers’ blockades, the president of the FNSEA, the leading agricultural union, Arnaud Rousseau, deplored, Monday February 12, “the tempo” of the government. “We need to take stock and be informed of what is happening,” he explains.

He also announces “actions aimed at large stores to control prices, at the initiative of a certain number of departments, but no national movement for the moment”. Arnaud Rousseau reassures, there will be no actions against the Agricultural Show, “It’s a moment of welcoming the public in which we explain our profession. We don’t want to make it a moment of tension and ultimately violence.”

“Farmers are at a time when they are waiting for concrete answers. We will make sure to have the most peaceful Show possible, but we are not going to give up on our ambitions a few days before the Show,” declares the boss of the FNSEA.
