Ce lundi 29 janvier, l'association des maires du Gard et son président, Philippe Ribot, sont présents sur l'autoroute A9 au niveau de l'échangeur Nîmes-Ouest, aux côtés des agriculteurs locaux.

After five days of mobilization and awaiting the arrival of the Minister of Agriculture (Marc Fesneau, Editor's note) this Tuesday, January 30, it was the mayors of Gard who called for a rally on the ;#39;A9, this Monday, January 29,  at 11 a.m. Present alongside Gard farmers, the Association of Mayors of Gard (AMF30) hopes to mobilize a large number of & #39;elected officials.

L'AMF30 joins agricultural anger

This Monday morning, 110 mayors or representatives of mayors met at the Nîmes-Ouest interchange. Since this is the economy of each municipality, everyone is very concerned by the agricultural cause. According to the association, the farmers' cry of alarm must be heard by all authorities in charge of this sector of activity.

Current and future operations

Several operations were announced by the  FDSEA du Gard and its president, David Sève, this Monday morning. As we speak, Operation Cadillac is underway. In the commune of Remoulins, some farmers are blocking import trucks from abroad, as in Alès earlier in the morning. In Pont-Saint-Esprit and Bagnols-sur-Cèze, "150 farmers are mobilized", explains David Sève.

Later in the day, from 3 p.m., it will be the turn of the Nîmes shopping centers (Carrefour Etoile near the west entrance and Géant Casino) ;#39;being stormed by Gard farmers. Operation Portes Clauses aims to dump manure and other organic waste in front of the entrances to shopping centers and thus continue to paralyze the activity of large stores.< /p>
