Karine Le Marchand took part in the procession of disgruntled farmers to demonstrate her sensitivity to the fractures in the agricultural world, she who has hosted the show L’amour est dans le pré for several years now. Some accuse him of splitting with a simple communication stunt!
Anger is brewing at the gates of Paris. Farmers from all over France have been blocking road access to the capital since Monday January 29, operating a real blockade to make their messages heard. They deplore their difficult working conditions compared to the meager salaries they earn today. A deep crisis is hitting the agricultural sector with, among other things, the multiplication of standards, new epidemics and regular water restrictions, while imported products continue to compete on French soil.
The FNSEA and the Young Farmers are impatiently waiting the general policy speech of the new Prime Minister Gabriel Attalwho must speak on the subject on Tuesday January 30, when they can already count on the support of Karine Le Marchand. Indeed, the famous host of M6known for her involvement in the show Love is in the meadow whose 19th season she launched earlier this month, has already taken sides.

Criticisms are pouring out against the host
However, many viewers who discovered these images of Karine Le Marchand among farmers on the highway wonder about the validity of her. On the social network X (ext-Twitter), the praise is multiplying; but the criticisms are flying at the same time. “I find it difficult to find words to express my indignation at this bourgeois woman who gets on a tractor to order hungry French people to buy more expensive food when they are already skipping meals”we can read, just like: “At some point, we have to stop talking shit and treating people like shit @KarineLMOff”, “#KarineLeMarchand should understand that people don’t buy (as she says) ‘shit’ for pleasure, they buy what they can with the little money they have!”.
For others “Karine Le Marchand is disconnected from reality” and offered a “boho show”. “What a scandal! Manipulating to this extent a profession where she makes her money!”we can also read, as well as “I find this recovery and this communications plan really shameful“while the host had already decided to put into perspective the difficulties encountered by the agricultural world with the documentary Peasant families broadcast in November on the Six.
