Anger of farmers: Macronie changes tone and glorifies national sovereignty. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal unveiled the government's new announcements on Thursday to try to put an end to farmers' anger.
One word came up many times: that of sovereignty. A semantic choice which is far from trivial. More than a change of tone, it is achange of footing that the executive is making. Emmanuel Macron, champion of European sovereignty, sends his Prime Minister to proclaim a new ambition for French agriculture. "We want to be sovereign. Sovereign to cultivate, sovereign to harvest," he says.
