Farmers protest in Mauprévoir against Sandrine Rousseau event

Farmers from the Coordination Rurale organized a protest in Mauprévoir on August 16 following the discovery of a planned summer university event featuring ecologist deputy Sandrine Rousseau.

Protesters gathered at the local town hall to voice opposition to Rousseau, citing her previous media statements regarding agricultural profitability, irrigation, and meat consumption. While the protest prevented a direct meeting between the farmers and the event participants, the summer university proceeded at an undisclosed location. Rousseau later shared social media posts describing the event as a meeting focused on degrowth and the deep transformation of societies and economies.
