The parliamentarian’s reaction comes after Bompard released this Wednesday, 20, a statement on his social networks in which he states that the retailer has committed to not selling meat from Mercosur, regardless of the “prices and quantities of meat” that these countries may offer. .
The letter signed by Bompard was addressed to the president of the National Federation of Agricultural Operators Unions (FNSEA), Arnaud Rousseau, and, according to him, the decision was taken after hearing the “dismay and anger” of French farmerswho protest against the proposed free trade agreement between the European Union and Mercosur.
