Karine le Marchand has proven it more than once, she is very invested in the cause of farmers. While the host of Love is in the meadow had already gone to their side during the demonstrations and blockades, she is once again showing her support. Wednesday April 3, 2024, she took to her Instagram account to share a story and show her dissatisfaction. In fact, it is absolutely not not convinced by the measures put in place by the government to help farmers. That same day, a draft text entitled “guidance bill for agricultural sovereignty and generational renewal in agriculture” was presented to the Council of Ministers. “Luckily I’m sitting down, fortunately I’m going to laugh a little at ‘Grosses Têtes’ because there, I’m on the c**.”she declares. “I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry. There is nothing about farmers’ remuneration. Excuse me, eh, but today, there is a minimum wage in France, so what’s the point of saying that we are going to revalue agricultural professions and that we are going to create an entity which will help young people to settle down if it is so that they work 70 hours a week to earn 500 dollars?”
“We’re all going to die without a farm”
According to her, this new text would absolutely not encourage young people to turn to agricultural careers. However, it is an absolute necessity, because more and more farmers are having difficulty finding a buyer once they retire, or go out of business, quite simply because of untenable working conditions and remuneration. “We will all die without farms, and we will depend on foreign countries to eat what they want to sell us, at the prices they want to sell us,” adds the host, “I’m not pushing for insurrection, but it’s bullshit so I’m very angry. I have nothing against you, the government, but I think you haven’t understood people’s anger. ” Perhaps it will be heard by politicians. In the meantime, farmers know that they can count on Karine le Marchand and her media coverage to defend them at all costs!
