The president of the FNSEA, Christiane Lambert, announced this Thursday that she will not seek a new mandate in the spring of 2023 at the head of the first French agricultural union, which she has led since 2017, maintaining her responsibilities in the European Union Cup.
He announced his decision Thursday before the FNSEA board of directors, during which first vice-president “Arnaud Rousseau announced his candidacy this morning” to succeed, he said. Christiane Lambert, who arrived at the beginning of 2017 as interim head of the union after the sudden death of her predecessor Xavier Beulin, became the first woman elected to this position. She was re-elected this year for the presidency of the Cup, an organization that brings together the main European unions and that she has directed since 2020.

“After more than 30 years of commitment to the FNSEA and 40 years of commitment in total,” the 61-year-old breeder, ubiquitous both on the field and in the media, now wants to “slow the pace” and “have a life after “. the FNSEA”, he said. He now intends to focus on the work of the Cup and the transmission of its exploitation while “spending time with the dearest”.
“I really appreciated this commitment,” he told AFP. “I will continue to be present in Brussels to represent France and bring the voice of French farmers to Brussels,” she said. In a tweet, she said that she was “proud of an agriculture situated at the heart of the economy and society.”
