She had become the voice of farmers, she is once again speaking out in their defense. In stories published this Wednesday on her Instagram account, the host and presenter of “L'amour est dans le pré” Karine Le Marchand widely criticized the agricultural bill presented this Wednesday by the Minister of Agriculture Marc Fesneau. “I’m on my ass. I have just read the agriculture bill, the major law which will promise us great national sovereignty. I don't know whether to laugh or cry about it. There is nothing, nothing about the remuneration of farmers,” she lamented while filming herself.
“What is the point of saying that we are going to revalue agricultural professions and that we are going to create an entity that will help young people to settle down if it means that they will work 70 hours a week to earn 500 balls? They won’t go,” she added. “We will all die without a farm and we will depend on foreign countries to eat what they want to sell us, at the prices they want to sell us,” Karine Le Marchand also attacked. “I'm not pushing for insurrection, but it's bullshit. I'm very angry. I have nothing against you, the government, but I think you have not understood people's anger. »
A new EGalim law
This bill carried by the Minister of Agriculture Marc Fesneau must be one of the levers to put an end to the anger of the agricultural world which began last January. This aims, in the main areas, to protect the country's food sovereignty, to attract new farmers or to simplify the administration surrounding the profession. Marc Fesneau notably insisted this Wednesday morning on RTL on the fact that he wanted to “replace each farmer who leaves” upon retirement. On the question of income, this is treated in parallel, through a new EGalim law which aims to ensure better remuneration for farmers.

From the start of the crisis, Karine Le Marchand had provided her support to farmers, by going to the A4 motorway dam at the end of January in Jossigny in Seine-et-Marne. “I am at their disposal but I am not a farmer so I have to stay in my place. But if I can help them, I will! “, she declared in particular, calling on farmers not to “give up”. At the end of January, she also presented a special program on M 6 dedicated to the farmers' angry movement.
