The presidential camp has decided to assume its position despite the anger of farmers, who are particularly targeting European environmental regulations.
Including those included in the “Green Deal”, the legislative package currently being finalized.
With their new slogan, the Macronists hope to demonstrate that the European Union does not necessarily pit the environment against farmers.

In vain.
