00:00 After 100 days of the European elections, ecologists are still trying to make peace with farmers,
00:05 while the campaign of their head of the list Marie Toussaint, started in December, seems to be in motion.
00:11 At the time when agriculture was imposed as one of the first campaign themes of these elections after the anger of the peasant world in January,
00:17 and that the executive made ecologists emissary books,
00:20 the greenhouse has ensured or received an excellent reception of the peasant world at the agricultural fair.
00:26 Far from the G2 and Sifflé who targeted the ministers of ecological transition and agriculture Christophe Béchut and Marc Fénaud,
00:32 the delegation, led by the head of the Marine-Tondelier party and the head of the list to the European Marie Toussaint,
00:37 has indeed been able to meet all the trade unions, including rural coordination, the most hostile to ecologists.
00:45 On Friday's visit, ecologists were far from being in the field,
00:49 as far as farmers say they are strangled by the norms, especially environmental.
00:54 "The ecologists have made a show of kindness.
00:57 We agree with you, that's what we've always said, what you say, it's in our program," Marine-Tondelier repeats.
01:04 The exchanges remain polite, but the criticism often comes from the peasant world.
01:09 While some of the representatives of rural coordination were still on guard after an action near the Arc de Triomphe,
01:15 Marine-Tondelier plays the connivence, "for the government you are agro-terrorists, we are eco-terrorists.
01:21 It may be more just for you than for us," replies Christian Convert, secretary-general of the trade union.
01:28 "A little earlier, it was the cattle farmer, Alexis Piccarou, who was indignant,
01:33 'We love you, but you have to love us,' he said.
01:36 We must stop saying we are polluters."
01:39 The exchange takes a more intense turn on the issue of megabasins,
01:44 water retention deemed necessary by some farmers but denounced by ecologists.
01:48 MEP Benoît Bithot, a farmer himself, is heated by the St-Sauline demonstration.
01:55 "By your methods, you are destroying French agriculture," the farmer replies.
