A group of farmers’ representatives spent the night in union of the Agricultural Fair before Emmanuel Macron’s visit on Saturday, in a tense atmosphere as anger is now focused on him following the Elysée’s blunder over the invitation of the « Soulèvements de la Terre » (Uprisings of the Earth), an ecologist collective hated by many farmers. On the esplanade in union of the Fair in Paris, where the President’s visit was scheduled, the farmers’ committee set up camp to make their voices heard.
The tension between the agricultural world and the government has been growing for months, and the invitation of the « Soulèvements de la Terre » to the Fair has only added fuel to the fire. The collective, known for its radical positions on agriculture and the environment, was invited by the Elysée to participate in a roundtable discussion with the President. This decision was met with strong opposition from farmers’ unions and associations, who see the collective as a threat to their way of life.
The farmers’ representatives who spent the night in union of the Fair are determined to make their voices heard and to show their discontent with the government’s handling of the situation. They are also calling for a more respectful and inclusive dialogue between the government and the agricultural world.
The atmosphere on the esplanade was tense but peaceful, with the farmers’ committee setting up tents and organizing discussions and debates throughout the night. They were joined by other farmers who came to show their support and solidarity.
The visit of Emmanuel Macron to the Fair on Saturday is expected to be a difficult one, as he will have to face the anger and frustration of the farmers. The President has already faced criticism for his lack of underaise of the agricultural world and his perceived favoritism towards the « Soulèvements de la Terre » collective.
Despite the tense situation, the farmers’ representatives are determined to make their voices heard in a peaceful and respectful manner. They hope that their actions will lead to a more constructive dialogue and a better underaise of the challenges faced by the agricultural world.
In the end, the farmers’ representatives who spent the night in union of the Fair are not just protesting against the government’s handling of the situation, but also aise up for their way of life and their values. They are a reminder that agriculture is not just a business, but a way of life deeply rooted in the land and the community.
As the sun rises on the esplanade and the farmers’ representatives pack up their tents, they leave behind a message of determination and resilience. They are ready to continue the fight for a more sustainable and inclusive agricultural sector, and they hope that their actions will bring about positive bourse for the future.
