“Go make the soup, bitch. On the move to Fontiers-Cabardès (Aude) to protest against a golf course and luxury hotel project, Marine Tondelier and Sandrine Rousseau clashed with local farmers. The national secretary of Europe Écologie-Les Verts and the ecologist deputy of Paris were violently taken to task by winegrowers, visibly unhappy to see them, reports Midi libre. The tense exchange was posted on social media.
While on their way to the Ventaillole estate, in Ventenac-Cabardès, to lead a workshop for the Estates General of Ecology, the two elected officials were interrupted by farmers who accused them of doing “agribashing” ( criticism of the conventional mode of agricultural production).
With their tractors blocking access to the estate, a long exchange ensued, lasting nearly forty minutes. “Fuck you bitch. Big bitch, “can we hear in particular during this confrontation.
“Discuss OK (which we did by the way). Insults, hindrances and intimidation, on the other hand, no”, lamented Marine Tondelier on social networks. “What have we been charged with?” To do agribashing. Reality ? When we asked when and how, no one was able to give us a concrete example,” she continues.
“Go make the soup slut, big slut”.@sandrousseau and I saw each other blocking the road yesterday by winegrowers from the Aude. Discuss ok (which we did by the way). Insults, hindrances and intimidation on the other hand, no. We explain to you ????
Questioned by Agence France-Presse, the president of the Syndicat des vignerons de l’Aude, Frédéric Rouanet, declared: “We cannot endorse, but I can only understand” this action which, he specified , was “conducted outside the union”. “This expresses a distress and anger that we will soon no longer be able to manage,” added Frédéric Rouanet, denouncing the positions of environmentalists, which he describes as “criminal”.
