Two artists confront each other around the Cuban singer, Maria Martinez. One is a teacher in need of inspiration, played by the soprano Natalie Dessay. The other is an artist who thinks she is the reincarnation of the singer, a role played by the bubbling Nancy Nkusi. A relationship of fascination and rejection develops between them.

« Our society has never been so permeable to the bad news that is distilled all day long », began Basil Gertis, the president of the CCI of Var during his greeting ceremony. “ People have doubts and many picture a gloomy future with an economic decline, a loss of values, repeated crises, growing insecurity and conflicts of all kinds… “, he continued.

For the president, for four generations, France is however on an upward curve. According to him, four indicators convince him of this and allow us to put 2023 into perspective in the long term: the level of education, salary, purchasing power and life expectancy.
On the first point, he recalled that in 1950, there were only 5% of baccalaureate holders compared to nearly 80% in 2023 and that only 134,000 people had higher education compared to 2.9 million in 2022. Regarding the median salary in France in 1945, according to him, it was €570 while today it is almost €26,000. What about purchasing power? “ With 1 franc, you could buy a baguette. So what is the progression of our purchasing power since 1945? It is 300%! It has also increased by a third since 1985! “, he demonstrated. Before also explaining that we have gained 21 years of life expectancy.

Financial costs of companies falling according to Basil Gestis

In his capacity as ambassador of the economy, Basil Gertis wanted to reassure his audience about the economic outlook for 2024. According to him, inflation “ will only be 2.5% in 2024 compared to 5.7% in 2023. This drop in inflation, which is beneficial to purchasing power, was induced by the increase in ECB interest rates. Without causing a recession. Interest rates are now trending downward, for periods between 2 and 10 years and the different rates are between 2.7% and 2.9%. We were at 3.6% last October. »

This means for him that the financial costs of companies will decrease. Before urging banks to start lending again to businesses, particularly those in the construction industry: “ The Bank of France’s growth projection is positive with 0.9% expected this year. Just like the purchasing power per capita which continues to increase: 0.8% is expected in 2024. » With an unemployment rate that “ should be relatively stable, increasing by only 3 thousandths in 2024he predicts, it should resume its downward trajectory thanks to the resumption of activity. »
As for the public debt, he predicts that it will stabilize with a reduction in the public deficit of 18 billion euros in 2024.

The Var Ambiccions program will be launched this year

The president then moved on to the 2024 program of the CCI, first recalling that the State has entrusted them with six missions: Economic development and support for businesses, professional training and apprenticeship, promotion of trade and tourism , innovation and digital transformation, internationalization of companies, business services and support for their creators.

In 2024, the Var CCI will launch the Var Ambiccions program in February, a series of territorial fairs on ecological transition, tourism, industry, climate risks and a fair dedicated to human resources.
The first Var Ambiccions exhibition will concern female entrepreneurship and will be held on February 6 in Toulon and February 15 in Brignoles. Basil Gertis also wants to found an engineering company serving communities to help them manage ports, airports and car parks.

2024 will also mark, assures the president, the completion of the study concerning the Beausset and Cuges bypasses and the route of the new access road for the Signes industrial zone.
Recalling that the CCI is the first in France, in terms of European projects financed, Basil Gertis repeated his commitment alongside the Toulon Provence Méditerranée Metropolis to strengthen the attractiveness of the commercial port of Toulon, “ while reducing its environmental impact ».

And invited the media to “ remember that with 1.5 million passengers, Toulon is the first link of territorial continuity with Corsica! And hundreds of families make a living from this industry. »
He also wants to invest in training by opening new classes like in Draguignan and Saint-Raphaël to allow young people to train without making long journeys.

A surreal and “historic” moment in the opinion of Pascal Gouttenoire, its president. There Rhône FDSEA held its annual open-air congress on Friday morning, at the blockage point installed since Wednesday on the M6 ​​(ex-A6) in Limonest.

An improvised stand on a trailer, dozens of benches lined up on three lanes in the Lyon-Paris direction and several hundred farmers present, aware of witnessing a crucial period for the future of the French agricultural model.

Arnaud Rousseau, a president of the FNSEA under fire for questions

The presence of Arnaud Rousseau, president of the FNSEA and central figure in the current crisis, added to the importance of the moment. Consequently, the FDSEA 69 had shaken up the classic agenda of such a congress to propose a round table bringing together – in addition to the boss of the FNSEA – the European deputy (Renew) and breeder in Saône-et-Loire Jérémy Decerleas well as Pascal Girinpresident of the Rhône Chamber of Agriculture.

But above all it was the frank and direct exchanges between Arnaud Rousseau and the farmers which made it possible to shed the harsh light of the field on the deep reasons for the anger of a sector that was running out of steam.

At 25, a cherry producer is already wondering about his future

Microphone in hand, everyone tells the boss of the majority union what is in their heart. Xavier Sauniercherry producer in Bessenay (Rhône), sees no end to the tunnel he has entered, while the latest harvests have been catastrophic. “I no longer have the means to fight against certain insects, like fruit flies or aphids. Does that mean that at 25 I have to uproot what I have barely started to build?”he asks.

“Let’s target the molecules that pose a problem, put the best researchers on the subject and find technical solutions. We can’t put a production in the wall like that. Otherwise, there will be no more French cherries and we will eat cherries Turkish products produced with insecticides banned in France”replies the boss of the FNSEA, emphasizing in passing the supposed strike force of INRAE ​​in terms of research.

For this milk producer, “organic has almost become a dirty word”

Fabien Chaverotproducer of organic milk and charcuterie in Haute-Rivoire (Rhône) continues with the fact that according to him “organic has almost become a dirty word in the current period”. In GAEC with his wife, he says to himself “iron” to have successfully completed its conversion from conventional agriculture to organic agriculture, but does not understand why the sector is slipping so much. “French organic, since post-Covid, we are in ch… We sell our organic milk at the price of conventional”he illustrates.

“I’ve talked about organic on all the TV sets, and I’m doing a lot of it at the moment”answers Arnaud Rousseau. “We must be able to help organic farming as we recently did for sectors such as pork or viticulture. On the other hand, when Brussels sets a target of 25% organic farming by 2030 while we are struggling to maintain 10%…”

Arnaud Rousseau : “We no longer hear Michel-Edouard Leclerc, he must have a swimming pool”

Laurent Soileuxpoultry breeder inAin neighbor, struggles for his part to understand that “55% of chickens consumed in France are imported, this is not normal!” And to tackle mass distribution. “We must enforce the Egalim law. It is not possible to hear Michel-Edouard Leclerc say that he will continue to lower prices. Everyone forgets the producer”he points.

“The FNSEA has been denouncing the situation for months. You will have noticed that we have not heard from major retailers since the start of the crisis. Michel-Edouard Leclerc, who we usually see on all sets, must have a swimming pool …”scratches the president of the majority union, who calls for an increase in the investigations of the general directorate of finance and controls of the DGCCRF.

The Mercosur agreement in the viewfinder

Mickaël Goninmilk producer in Amplepuisfinally questions Arnaud Rousseau on a possible convergence of struggles between European peasants, at a time when processions are increasing, in Germany or the Netherlands. “I am a convinced European, but as a milk producer, I no longer find my little ones there”he grimaces.

“We need to know what we want to do together. Do we really want a Europe that is sovereign in terms of food?”replies Arnaud Rousseau. “We need to trade, but when I hear a European Trade Commissioner tell us that everything is in line to sign the Mercosur agreement next June, I am cautious. 99,000 more tonnes of beef from South America on the market in the current situation, I wouldn’t understand. Only the President of the Republic can stop that.”

For Jérémy Decerle, MEP and president, “we need to rebalance the game in Brussels”

In an ironic wink, the sound system spits out “Brussels I love you” by the Belgian artist Angèle as a preamble to the round table. MEP within the “Renew” group, and in this regard member of the Macronist group, Jérémy Decerle does not appear a priori with all the assets to convince the assembly present in Limonest.

Except that this young politician is also a breeder in Saône-et-Loire and by nature in direct contact with the concerns of the agricultural world. At the microphone, he clearly displays his support for the movement. “It’s a shame to have to get to this point to be listened to, but your mobilization helps us to send messages higher”he says, without wanting to take on all the responsibilities. “Yes, the macronie hasn’t done everything well in Brussels, but it’s not just her.”

For Jérémy Decerle, however, the simplification of standards appears obvious: “We are doing too much in France, when other countries sometimes do anything on certain subjects. We need to rebalance the game.”

Finally, the MEP pleads for “take agriculture out of trade agreements and treat it within a dedicated framework”. Imagining his point thus: “We cannot exchange food products like cars, without worrying about the impact on the territories”he judges, finally calling for a form of citizen resurgence. “Everyone must play the game, including consumers. We need society to act.”
