Anger of the farmers: after the returned panels, what is this new very symbolic action of the peasant world ?

Comme à Vendémian, près de 300 panneaux ont été retournés par des agriculteurs dans l'Hérault depuis fin 2023. DR

Depuis quelques jours, des agriculteurs tracent des lignes rouges au niveau de leurs exploitations. Une façon de protester contre les visites de contrôle imposées par l'Etat.

"Until we are heard, the State is taking big risks by crossing the red line". On its Facebook page, the Rural Coordination indicates that it supports the action of farmers, particularly visible in Haute-Garonne and Haute-Vienne, which consists of drawing red lines at the level of their farms.

Red lines

After the city signs were turned over, farmers are innovating to continue to show their anger. This red line refers to the statements of Gérald Darmanin. The Minister of the Interior had declared that he would not "let the farmers do this" ;#39;they crossed "red lines", during their mobilization to block Rungis, last January . 

A symbol addressed to whom ?

"It's a symbol that we wanted to use again. It is addressed to controllers and representatives of structures", specifies Karine Duc, co-president of CR47, quoted by our colleagues from La Dépêche.

Despite numerous government announcements since the start of the crisis, French farmers continue to mobilize in the face of the complex standards imposed by the European Union.

"More action on the ground"

Sunday March 2, the president of the FNSEA, Arnaud Rousseau, warned that there would still be "actions on the ground in the fifteen days to come and beyond" of BFM.
