The FNSEA considers that the government's promises have not been kept. Farmers are planning to demonstrate their discontent, as are civil servants who are campaigning against the increase from one to three days of waiting in the event of sick leave. Farmers are preparing a new large-scale mobilization. Farmers are expressing their anger locally. Shock actions have taken place in some departments to alert the public authorities to the difficulties that the sector is still facing. But the mobilization will become national. The two majority unions, the FNSEA and the Young Farmers, are calling for demonstrations to resume in mid-November. On November 15, farmers will carry out actions throughout the country. Without a rapid response from the state, some unions are warning: they could very quickly toughen their stance and once again block roads and food freight. A difficult situation for professionals in the agricultural sector, who have already had a complicated year. The heavy rains, which reduced cereal harvests by 40% and the mobilizations at the beginning of the year which remained unanswered are not going well. This protest is taking place at a few months before professional elections in the agricultural sector, while the government assures that it has implemented two thirds of the measures promised after the January protests. For the civil service, the FO and the CGT have called for a strike. The two unions had been invited to a meeting with the Minister of Civil Service, Guillaume Kasbarian. The meeting was a failure. The minister wants to extend the waiting period for civil service workers to three days, compared to one day currently. “We'll take the minister's game at its word: three days of waiting, three days of strike,” replied the secretary general of the UIAFP-FO, Christian Grolier. The day of the strike has not yet been announced, but union leaders have raised the possibility of a mobilization at the beginning of December.
