The president of the FNSEA  Arnaud Rousseau has made it known that he will not attend the big debate desired by Emmanuel Macron with the agricultural world at the Agricultural Show.

The president of the FNSEA Arnaud Rousseau indicated on RMC-BFMTV that he will not go to the debate wanted by Emmanuel Macron at the Agricultural Show this Saturday, February 24, 2024.

"I'm not going"

"I'm not going to this big debate. I mentioned it last night. I find that what is happening is incomprehensible, the cynicism that prevails in what I observe is intolerable for the people I represent", he declared.

This reaction follows the invitation also addressed to the collective of environmental activists Les Soulèvements de la Terre (FNSEA) by Emmanuel Macron.

Controversy over the presence of Earth Uprisings

L'Élysée announced Thursday February 22, 2024 at the end of the evening that the collective of environmental activists Les Soulèvements de la Terre will ultimately not be invited to the major debate in which Emmanuel Macron is taking part this Saturday at agricultural show. The announcement, a little earlier in the day, of the presence of this collective of environmental activists that the executive wanted to dissolve ;last year created controversy.

The great debate on agriculture will therefore take place without the Earth Uprisings and without the FNSEA from now on, according to the words of its president this Friday23 February morning.
