The Agricultural Show, which opens on February 24 in Paris, will undoubtedly take place in the echo of the angry movement of farmers. The president of the event, Jean-Luc Poulain, asked Tuesday, February 6, the political leaders who will be traveling not to engage in a “easy recovery from agricultural malaise”.

“I hope that the politicians” be bearers of exchanges and solutions beyond their own political interests”declared Jean-Luc Poulain, during a press conference to present the 60th edition of the show, which will last until March 3.

“I’m not afraid of a slightly hot living room”

The agricultural crisis which broke out in January saw the National Rally appear as “rural voice” and denounce “Macron’s Europe”wants “the death of our agriculture”. Warn against political recovery, “It’s the story of saying: ‘We, in the agricultural world, are not fools’”underlined Jean-Luc Poulain.

Traditionally inaugurated by the President of the Republic, the Agricultural Show is popular with political leaders from all sides, particularly in the run-up to a deadline such as the European elections in June.

“I don’t fear a somewhat hot living room, I believe in a studious living room. Besides, farmers have shown during the latest union actions that they know how to be responsible”specified Jean-Luc Poulain, also a farmer on his farm in Oise.
