The spokesperson for the French region, Macro*, spoke today with the president of the country Europe, Von Der Le*en.
We managed to recover part of their exclusive exchange:

" - My little Pistachio Macaron!

How are you doing ?
GOOD ?
How was your trip to Sweden?
You "talked about Sweden joining NATO", ... "Russia", ... "Turkey", ... "Hungary"...
My darling, you Don't go telling me all the countries!
We have other things to do.

What ? “You would like to tell me about the farmers in your region”?
But of course ! We have plenty of time for that.

Besides, I convey to you the congratulations of the bosses for all your work.
They like your style.
Let the anger macerate, let it gradually rise, show that France no longer really exists, that help can only come from the European Union...
It's sublime!
In 2 or 3 years, the people will finally accept the country "Europe".
But before we discuss what happens next, let's get down to business.
Is your wife here with you?
Obviously “not here in the same room” my darling! I'm old but I still have my eyes.
Perfect, let's pick up what we left off the last time we saw each other?
Did you bring your Geisha balls?

Oh my little Raspberry Macaron!
Do you know that you have always been my Favorite?"

We subsequently questioned a farmer who was stacking crates in the middle of the highway:

" - Journalist: What do you think of the, I quote, "concrete" measures that the president requested from the European Union?
- Olivier: But what “concrete” measures are we talking about? ...
- J.: He plans to slow down the reduction of subsidies to agriculture which runs on Diesel and promises to also reduce environmental standards.
It also plans to ensure that imported products follow European standards.
And will ask to renegotiate the quotas for products imported from Ukraine, which had been eliminated following the war against Russia.

- O.: All that bullshit! - called out the farmer who, this time, placed tires with his colleagues on the crates.

Scoops, that’s what I think. They grab us by the throat and are "outraged" and "surprised" afterwards that we yell at them...
We don't want their bite-the-knot free trade!
We do not want them to impose their draconian rules on us and then allow products from other countries that do not follow these rules to pass through.
They take us for badgers?
I'll tell you: if it takes 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, we'll be there...
J.: And what do you think of...

O.: Wait, I'm not finished.
You will talk later.

We are the ones who feed the country! It is the farmers, the breeders, the railway workers, the metallurgists when there were still some, the workers, the waiters, the garbage collectors, the nurses etc... who make the country!
Not governments!
On the contrary, they do everything to make us poor!
They want to impoverish us and take away our land and then install wind turbines that pollute more and kill more animals than we are led to believe.
Is that preserving the environment?!
We commit suicide every day in our profession.

And you have the other puppet who tells us that he is going to ask Europe for help?

We don't want help from this scam.
We want our country to let us work and focus on all of us.
- J.: And...
- O.: I still haven't finished.
I, the Poles, have nothing against them. Or any other country for that matter.
But my taxes are for my country and for me.
Period.
Hey, by the way, where is your camera?
I say that the only valid vote is whether to pay your taxes or not.
If you don't pay, you're voting for the dissolution of the government and the clown at its head!
Another proposal: let us choose which budget we want to pay our taxes to.

Let the people who work the country, who do it every day, manage it!
