Lactalis was already targeted last week by several actions by farmers denouncing its commercial practices. Security guards were positioned when the demonstrators arrived but failed to prevent them from entering.
The demonstrators left the stand shortly after 1 p.m., saying they would “maybe” come back and leaving behind walls covered with stickers. Lactalis, which has not reacted formally, recalls that mediation is underway with the producers and emphasizes that dairy products are also sold for export, complicating the equation.
