“We cannot agree with the people who have these methods.” This Monday night on BFMTV, Marine Tondelier denounced the “threats” she received before her trip to Lot-et-Garonne on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The president of the department’s Chamber of Agriculture, Serge Bousquet-Cassagne, published a press release in which he indicated to the national secretary of Europe Ecology-The Greens that “it is not welcome” because “the territory [lui] It is unfriendly”.
“Don’t come to our house, it’s going to be bad,” he threatened in his press release signed with the Coordination Rurale 47 union.
The “Root of Evil”
While the elected Hénin-Beaumont had to go to Marmande, where a maternity hospital was threatened, then to Agen and Montesquieu, Serge Bousquet-Cassagne estimated that she had “sowed violence, hatred and desolation” during the demonstration against the Sainte-Soline mega-basins ( Deux-Sèvres) and that he embodied “the root of the evil that farmers suffer from”. That is why she “watches” and will “watch” that she does not come to her “fief”.
“I have always been a Republican, non-violent and open in discussions,” defended Marine Tondelier, who revealed on our antenna that she had called the author of these threats.
“I was very surprised by this man’s speech. I find it quite disturbing that in France we can have presidents of agricultural chambers who speak like this to elected officials, ”he later added.
Nupes elected officials strongly condemn
The national secretary of the EELV very quickly received the support of the members of the Nupes on social networks. “It is unacceptable”, lamented the deputy of the EELV Sandrine Rousseau.
The same is true of his colleague Jérémie Iordannoff, deputy for Isère, who wonders: “Has the French Republic lost the bastion of Lot-et-Garonne?”
Deputies from La France Insoumise also gave their “full support” to Marine Tondelier, such as Ersilia Soudais and Benjamin Lucas. The latter wrote on Twitter that the threat should “be condemned without reservation.”
