Farmers began to lift their blockades yesterday, Friday February 2, throughout France. Only the Peasant Confederation is still calling for mobilization after the announcements by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal on Thursday. But four months before the European elections, the National Rally (RN) does not intend to stop there. The party leadership is calling for a weekend of action in the federations: we must continue to stand alongside farmers.

Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella posing all smiles in front of a green landscape. “European elections: France supports its rurality», We can read on this poster of the National Rally (RN) printed in 120,000 copies and sent to all the party federations this weekend. Just like the open letter from the president of the RN to farmers that activists are responsible for distributing at the latest gatherings or directly on farms.
“New ideological victory»
This communication campaign has been in progress since the beginning of the week. Gabriel Attal’s announcements have changed nothing. “It is a new ideological victory for our ideas, particularly on free trade, but that is not enough.“, explains an executive from Jordan Bardella’s campaign.
So, we must continue to support the farmers. But don’t go telling MP Thomas Ménage that his party is capitalizing as much as possible on this crisis: “We are not capitalizing, it’s just that the French are seeing that beyond the caricature of recent years, we already had very strong credibility on sovereign subjects but now on economic subjects, the National Rally is on the right path and has, for a long time, carried out the right fights, the right positions and the right solutions for the French.»
Stay mobilized until the Agricultural Show
This crisis will still not be resolved during the Agricultural Show at the end of February 2024, bets a close friend of Jordan Bardella, according to whom we must remain mobilized at least until that date. The head of the RN list will then spend two full days alongside the farmers. We will only be three months away from the Europeans.
