To try to appease the anger of farmers, Gabriel Attal received this Monday, January 22, the FNSEA and Young Farmers unions, who are awaiting "declarations" in the week, "on all short-term subjects that need to be moved".

As the anger of the agricultural world spreads in Europe, Arnaud Rousseau of the FNSEA and Arnaud Gaillot of the Young Farmers were received by the Prime Minister in Matignon, Monday January 22 at the end of the day . "The Prime Minister shares our diagnosis" on a &amp ;quot;a sector that he knows little about, but in which he has clearly said that he wishes to get involved", declared Arnaud Rousseau.  "We won't be satisfied with measures. The actions continue as long as&# 39;we have no answers from the Prime Minister, reports France Info.

Arnaud Rousseau also indicates that Gabriel Attal would have committed in the coming days to going into the field, in order to meet the farmers. The Minister of Agriculture, who then spoke to journalists, promised that announcements would be made "within the week" . "We must collectively hear the anger", he insisted .

Part of Occitanie still blocked

Always according to France Info, the government fears a conflagration while several European countries such as the Netherlands, Romania, Poland or again Germany is seeing farmers multiply their actions against rising taxes and the European Green Deal. All this against a backdrop of inflation and competition from Ukrainian imports.

Same trend in Occitanie where tractors paraded in the towns of Agen and Perpignan. In Haute-Garonne, a portion of the #39;A64 motorway still remains blocked at Carbonne, between Toulouse and Saint-Gaudens. "There are no plans for evacuation by the police forces". In Tarn-et-Garonne finally, the access points to the central Golfech, which supplies electricity to the Toulouse basin, are also blocked by around fifty tractors.
