To make itself heard by farmers and the French, the left in its diversity will crowd around Oreillette, the Normandy cow, the face of the 60th Agricultural Show which began on Saturday.
Almost all the major leaders of the left, and particularly the candidates for the European elections next June, will mingle with the 600,000 visitors expected in the coming days at the Porte de Versailles, in Paris, at the bedside of an angry sector, but which traditionally votes little for them.
If Jean-Luc Mélenchon, whose last visit dates back to 2013, has not planned to go there, the Insoumis will be represented by Manon Aubry, their head of the European list who has planned to spend the entire day of Monday.
She will meet “all the unions” and will make two main demands: “Floor prices so that farmers are no longer the cash cows and the end of unfair competition.
» Returning from the Show, the MEP, co-president of The Left group, promises to fight in the European Parliament against two new trade agreements with Chile and Kenya.
“We were the only group to have voted against it in committee,” she argues.
