This device would serve “employment in France” and “the French economy”, according to the boss of the FNSEA.
Christiane Lambert does not side with the supporters of the government’s “anti-inflation basket”. “This anti-inflation basket, which is the hobbyhorse of Bercy, is very bad news, it will pull prices down“, accused the president of the FNSEA this Monday morning on Franceinfo, reiterating her firm opposition to this device on which the executive seems to procrastinate.
For Christiane Lambert, such an anti-inflation basket “serves employment in France” And “serves the French economy“. “I don’t want agriculture to experience the same syndrome as textiles“, she added, that is to say that a major part of the production is relocated abroad. Christiane Lambert, who will hand over to the head of the first French agricultural union in March, indicated that she would meet with Bruno Le Maire, on this subject of the anti-inflation basket, Thursday at the Salon de l’Agriculture in Paris .

Mentioned in mid-January by Bruno Le Maire, this basket was originally to contain around twenty products – to “lowest possible prices– before being extended to around fifty references. But last week, the same Minister of the Economy apparently buried the device. “I don’t know if it will be an anti-inflation basket“, he nuanced on BFMTV last Monday. And to add:This will be what distributors will find most useful and effective.“Two days later, however, the Minister Delegate responsible in particular for Trade Olivia Grégoire told L’Opinion: “We don’t give up on the ideaof the anti-inflation basket. A solution to rising food prices must be agreed by mid-March, the government has said.
Instead of this device, the boss of the FNSEA offers a food check for people “precarious, who are 5 million in France today“. This check, which the union wants “sustainable», would make it possible to buy, for example, «fruit and vegetables, meat, fresh produce“. A track that the executive has dismissed so far.
