Farmers still mobilized

#AVEYRON Following the call from the National Federation of Milk Producers, FDSEA and Young Farmers of Aveyron will, this weekend, visit several large and medium-sized supermarkets in the department in order to “verify the origins of dairy products”, they explain.

In their sights in particular: butter for its imported cream or Emmental for milk “origin EU”, situations “unacceptable for the French dairy industry! The standards that French producers meet and the quality offered to consumers must be highlighted.”

The death of the donkey

#AGDE Sad Christmas day for Pascal Gossart. His donkey Pimprenelle died “after apparently eating a large quantity of bread”. He is still furious because he had taken care to warn walkers not to give the animal just anything to eat.

Pascal had already lost his llama named Serge five years ago, in somewhat similar circumstances, when a walker gave him apples to eat. “Stupidity is a commonplace in humans, but unfortunately it is not a discovery”,regrets the farmer. The animals helped to clear and maintain these wetlands in good condition, so that crops could be planted there.

Don't throw away your oyster shells!

#SÈTE For the third year in a row, the Agglo de Sète is calling on residents to place their oyster shells in special bins at recycling centers. “We don't have any great illusions about the volumes recovered, concedes Laurence Magne, the elected official in charge of this file. We have to take the time, during the holiday season, to go to the recycling center to put our shells in a special bin. It's complicated.”

The approach is rather one of raising awareness of the valorization of this product. Once crushed, the shell can be used to improve agricultural land, serve as a basis for the renovation of paths, be integrated into animal feed, be used in a type of porous concrete or even as insulation in flat roofs (experiments are underway). Another equally structuring project: vitrification. “Why not imagine, if all goes well, that the remains of the oysters are used to make Picpoul bottles ?”

Ten years after Charlie: an exhibition on the forecourt of the Region

#OCCITANIE Ten years after Charlie, an exhibition is planned in Montpellier. 23 cartoonists will offer, on the forecourt of the Regional Hotel, drawings on the theme of conflicts, migrations, and identity withdrawal. A way of “reaffirm our commitment to freedom of expression, a founding value of our Republic, and keep alive the memory of those who died in its name”, underlines Carole Delga, President of the Region.

An exhibition, called “Border line”. An anglicism that emphasizes that it “will cross borders and because it is about playing with limits, as we say of someone that he is “borderline”, explains the exhibition curator Vincent Girard.

The figure of the day: 177,000

PYRENEES-ORIENTALES This is, in euros, the sum that the former director of the port of Saint-Cyprien must pay to the town after his retirement, according to L’Indépendant. The city was claiming a little over a million euros in overpayments (salaries and severance pay) from him and the Toulouse administrative court has just handed down its decision.

The mayor considered that these sums had been unduly collected because the director had kept his private law contract while an autonomous authority had been created.
