France, Alternative Libertaire AL 1000 Cows: solidarity with farmers indicted by Guillaume (fr, pt)

[machine translation]

July 1, 2014, nine activists were summoned Peasant Confederation court of Amiens. Their 
crime? Have made a giant tag and have removed some construction equipment and milking 
parlor. But this is not the most serious. This leads them today before the Court, it is to 
be taken to the factory farm 1000 cows, refusing the industrialization of agriculture, 
choosing action rather than to resign himself to disappear. ---- The number of farmers is 
plummeting. Modernization, which first led to improved working conditions, led to the 
industrialization of agriculture that gradually destroys agriculture. There is no question 
of select seeds on the farm. Industrial law and we are imposing their GMOs. It is also 
impossible to manage a herd with the expertise of the breeder, electronic chipping of 
small ruminants is mandatory. As for processed products on the farm, the number of food 
standards has made clear the way for industrial products.

These are just the highlights of a pushed by agricultural policies movement traits. * CAP 
continues to support the expansion and exclude smaller. The agricultural future Act 
currently under discussion, does nothing to protect farmers. The end of milk quotas will 
encourage an explosion of production against which many do not take the shot. On all 
sides, called the farmers to increase volumes, to reduce costs. We pretend to forget what 
a crisis of overproduction.

The factory farm 1000 cows is the symbol of this madness. 9,000,000 liters of milk sold at 
250 euros a tonne while breeders barely break even with 350 euros. Milk has become a 
byproduct of manure that feeds into a giant digester. A project whose profitability is up 
to the production of subsidized energy.

Farmers have to watch their business disappear without doing anything? It was time to 
launch the alert, screaming urgency to respond if we continue to see the peasants in the 
countryside.

Peasant Confederation has taken up its responsibilities, three times on the site of the 
factory farm 1,000 cows. The risk was great, of course, end up before a judge. But what 
does it face the risk of their extinction?

Today, this legitimate action is criminalized. Peasant Confederation went against the will 
of our leaders who think stock prices and trade balance. Activists disturbing and union 
repression starts. In front, the sponsor of the 1000 cows, Michel Ramery continues to 
build its plant, with impunity, despite the glaring irregularities and intimidation 
methods worthy of gangster movies. The double standard is obvious.

The gravedigger peasants 369th fortune of France, so has much more support than have 
hundreds of thousands of peasants. And matter as farms disappear from the landscape, the 
rural depopulation continues, unemployment continues to rise, that we do not have a 
standardized diet, provided that finance continues to fatten.

In this system, there is no room for dispute. 250 militants lock time of a meeting of 
bosses, cast aspersions on the strikers, or send farmers to court, there is never no 
exaggeration when it comes to protecting certain interests.

The future of agriculture affects us all! We stand in solidarity activists of the Peasant 
Confederation. We call for their release!
