Overview

• Sandrine Rousseau is set to purchase a secondary residence in Dinéault within an active agricultural zone, drawing ire from local farmers.
• On August 8, dozens of producers led by Patrik Sastre-Coader of Coordination rurale du Finistère held a beef-centric barbecue outside Rousseau’s future property.
• Rousseau condemned the gathering as a violent, masculinist intimidation tactic aimed at her private life.
• Farmers have since discussed more demonstrations on social media, including the potential dumping of manure at her home.
• The dispute highlights deepening divides between ecological policy advocates and agricultural communities over chemical farming and rural settlement.
