President of the Salon de l’agriculture, Jean-Luc Poulain, expects “virile” exchanges with Macron. Minister of Agriculture, Marc Fesneau, deemed Emmanuel Macron's proposal to the Soulèvements de la Terre collective to participate in the major debate he is organizing on the future of the sector.
“I consider that it was an invitation which was inappropriate given the context,” reacted the minister on TF1. The backpedaling was initiated by the Élysée an hour later with the announcement that the collective, once described as "terrorist" by Gérald Darmanin, was no longer invited.
