o Government announcements
The government announced it will release more than 600 million euros in favor of farmers in difficulty, to help them alleviate their cash, and work with banks to restructure their debts. The measures for the reduction of cash include 100 million of charges and dues cancellations and deferrals 500 million. These tax payment deferrals due on income, prepayments of VAT, property tax exemptions, and measures related to the MSA (MSA, the social security of farmers). To help restructure the debts of farmers, the load relief fund (CAF) is increased to 50 million euros, against 8,000,000 currently. The Public Investment Bank (BPI) will guarantee up to 500 million bank credit cash euros to the livestock sector companies to meet all their needs.
The plan, available in 24 measures, also includes “structural measures”.
o The first dams raised
FDSEA Calvados called for removing dams, particularly in Caen. However, this is a “suspension”: farmers will take stock “at the end of summer” and would resume motion in September if the government does not keep its promises. FDSEA of the Somme has also asked its members to stop their actions.
o always mobilized farmers
All federations are not in agreement . Breeders, disappointed by the announcements, Lyon want to block this evening but also Clermont-Ferrand.
o General mobilization of the executive
Pressed by the growing protest breeders and several opposition leaders, Francois Hollande and the government are trying not to get caught up in the farm crisis to avoid, in summer and six months of regional elections at high risk, a hardening of the conflict. The executive, smarting from the experience of the “Red Caps” in Britain in 2013, clearly fears a contagion that would not have failed to turn in the wrong soap summer. “We hear the anguish of the farmers,” Manuel Valls said Wednesday.
