Former French presidential candidate and former environment minister Ségolène Royal criticized “so-called organic” tomatoes produced in her country. “Spanish fruits and vegetables do not meet French standards,” she said, repeating a criticism regularly made during demonstrations by French farmers.
Pedro Sánchez: “I invite her to come to Spain (...) and she will see that the Spanish tomato is unbeatable” “We cannot allow unfounded statements to ruin an entire sector,” responded the Spanish professional association for organic production (Ecovalia)
