Milk strike. Despite the proposals, the movement continues
VIDEO - Not bad but can do a lot better. This is the assessment given by the trade unions to the copy of the Minister of Agriculture, Bruno Le Maire, made Monday evening. The announcement of preferential loans to lighten the cash flow of breeders is certainly an "advance", but insufficient.
"We are offered a loan of 2500 euros and we have a loss of 15.000 euros on average," notes Daniel Condat, national president of the association of milk producers (APL).
"People are determined to continue the movement because we are far from the mark," said Pasacl Massol, national president of the association of independent milk producers (APLI), who fears "a radicalization of the movement". According to him, the movement could continue in other forms, "such as the filtering of dairies".
As was already the case yesterday at the Danone dairy in Lacapelle-Marival, in the Lot, where 60 members of the Confédération paysanne poured 80 liters of milk, or at Temple-sur-Lot and Montayral, in the department neighbor of Lot-et-Garonne where the striking producers let the delivery trucks pass but not the milk from the farms. Producers took turns all night joined by cereal and pruniculturalists. Also note, in the same department, the entry into the running of the FNPL (FDSEA) until then absent from the movement.
In Ariège, the producers expressed their dissatisfaction in Foix, making the happiness of the Fuxéens who appreciated the free distribution of milk. Identical operation planned this morning, in Tarascon-sur-Ariège.
Radicalization still in Tarn-et-Garonne, where the Young Farmers promise that “milk will flow freely today.
