The farmers' crisis continues and its impact on the political field is growing. After the announcements of support for the agricultural world by Gabriel Attal, Les Républicains also revealed their project. After the publication of a "white paper on agriculture", Jeunes LR are launching a massive collage campaign across France.

15,000 prints. The ambition of the Jeunes Rrépublicains matches the event. From Friday, a national collage campaign will begin everywhere in France, to support farmers. The objective according to Guilhem Carayon, the president of young LR, is to "show the support of our youth movement for farmers and put pressure on the government to obtain progress for the agricultural world". This initiative accompanies the Republicans' white paper on agriculture, presented this Wednesday, January 31, by MP Julien Dive.

Government action deemed insufficient

In the sights of young LR, the government of Gabriel Attal, responsible according to them for the intensification of agricultural anger, and the announcements made this Thursday in Matignon, which are considered insufficient. “We will have to move from words to action, which in Macronie is often more problematic.

The young Republicans will therefore begin their work on the ground, and particularly with the young farmers' union. “Our proposals are very close to theirs” concedes Guilhem Carayon before concluding by assuring them of his support: “We will always be alongside the JA, because they embody the France of common sense, the France of work which only asks for to live with dignity.
