Rémi Dumaure, president of the Dordogne Chamber of Agriculture, is acquitted

The president of the Chamber of Agriculture, Rémi Dumaure (former president of the Rural Coordination 24), appeared this Friday, May 16, before the Limoges Criminal Court. He was tried for contempt of court [Editor's note: summoned before the Limoges police station in March, the new president of the chamber was accused of making comments that went against the Haute-Vienne departmental council], for which he was acquitted. He reacted strongly: "convicting me for comments that were made at a general meeting, without targeting anyone in particular! It was like a play, that the organized crime of the Dordogne was in court. They say that justice takes a long time, but this time, they didn't waste any time." "Every time someone said: farmers are crooks and bandits, I didn't rush to file a complaint," he protested. "That's what I'm calling for now." As of Monday, I promise to make an appointment as president of the chamber with the prosecutor! The justice system will have an interest in reacting as quickly each time a farmer files a complaint."
