Warmly welcomed at the Agricultural Show, Marine Le Pen attacks the European Green Deal

The parade of politicians continues at the Salon de l’Agriculture. This Wednesday, it’s Marine Le Pen’s turn to stroll the aisles. A stroll which has all the makings of a European campaign for the leader of the deputies of the National Rally, with the central theme so far, agriculture. The former boss of the RN is interrupted very regularly, if not all the time, by visitors who stop to take a photo and greet her. Many journalists are also present. A great opportunity for Marine Le Pen to put forward her vision of agriculture, as opposed to the green deal, the “Green deal”, a strategy of “agricultural decline” advocated, according to her, by Brussels.

The Green Deal, “a profound injustice”

The three-time presidential candidate does not hide her proximity to certain farmers, but denies any exploitation of unions. “What is abnormal about the fact that there are union members who feel close to us? Emmanuel Maron said: it is the National Rally which, through the Rural Coordination, organized demonstrations against me. And that is scandalous. That is defamation on his part. He must also admit that we have the right to disagree with him without being insulted,” she was indignant.

“The big battles we are waging are against the green pact. It is a policy of degrowth, of an announced drop in agricultural production. It is a profound injustice done to farmers and economic and political stupidity” , she thundered.

During a speech, Marine Le Pen should speak on floor prices, the proposal made by Emmanuel Macron this Saturday. She seems to be in favor of it while Jordan Bardella said, at the start of the week, that he was rather opposed to this solution. A slight dissonance which does not really upset the very warm welcome received by Marine Le Pen at the Salon de l’Agriculture. An image issue, a few days after Emmanuel Macron’s stormy visit.
