Laurent Wauquiez wants farmers “in a good position” on the LR list of Europeans. “It would be a very strong signal of our desire to defend our farmers,” he said.

He did not want to confirm the name of Céline Imart, cereal farmer from Tarn, whom Le Parisien mentioned as François-Xavier Bellamy's running mate for the June 9 election. He assured that LR was the only party that had defended French farmers in the European Parliament over the last five years.
