00:00 Marcel, what a pleasure to welcome you here at the AgriDemain stand.
00:03 We need a memory for this 60th edition of the International Agriculture Show.
00:08 As far as the peasant writers, you are beyond, I would say, a duty of memory,
00:14 perhaps a beacon on a horizon that will be precious to us.
00:17 Yes, because at the moment, it's not the time to moan.
00:26 So?
00:27 We are in a difficult period, but we must find the energy that we have always had.
00:32 So we are an association, we are 50 years old.
00:34 More than 100 writers today.
00:36 Of course.
00:38 And we have people who were strong,
00:42 who were in the mold of the post-World War II,
00:45 who had to be rebuilt.
00:48 And we try, we do what we can.
00:51 We are not perfect,
00:53 but we try to be in the extension of a battle that people had taken.
00:59 It is an eternal battle for freedom, for many values.
01:04 For our humanity, dear Marcel.
01:05 For humanity.
01:06 Precisely, the first manifesto, published 50 years ago, you reworked it.
01:10 Was it necessary to get involved and stay, I would say, in the era of a changing time?
01:16 Yes, so I invite you to read it.
01:19 It is on the Internet.
01:20 Just do an EAP and you will find it.
01:23 But two ideas.
01:24 The first, the world is changing.
01:26 When we say peasant,
01:27 well, in fact, there are also what we call farmers,
01:30 but there are also agricultural workers,
01:32 there are young people who settle,
01:34 there are people who come from Morocco and elsewhere to pick our fruits.
01:39 All that, you have to know it, go to them,
01:42 and with them try to do things.
01:44 They too are carriers of a knowledge,
01:47 they need to express themselves, to tell their suffering, their good, their desire.
01:54 You see, that's the first idea.
01:55 I was going to say, just to cut you off for a moment, dear Marcel,
01:59 there was this duty to work these landscapes of France.
02:02 Agriculture is committed to it.
02:03 Today, it also has a duty to forge, I would say, these new French,
02:07 these new peasants, who finally work this agriculture.
02:11 It is also important.
02:12 We have a process, I would say, of integration.
02:14 If you go, you look, there is a creativity currently, which is incredible.
02:21 Here at the Salon, we see some elements.
02:23 I learn things by visiting the Salon.
02:25 We always learn.
02:26 But you watch on television, movies,
02:31 these people who do little things on YouTube, etc.
02:35 There is a creativity.
02:36 And in the countryside, where there are people who love their job,
02:40 who have technical models, who are brilliant.
02:44 And perfect from the point of view of the environment, of food, etc.
02:49 With an economic model that is extremely fragile.
02:52 Precarious in some cases.
02:53 Precarious, it's a horror.
02:55 And indeed, there is a structure today.
02:58 We must call on all French people, consumers,
03:01 to sometimes put the price to allow these branches to grow.
03:05 We mentioned it, dear Marcel, we mentioned it.
03:07 The other idea.
03:09 Well, it's a banality to say that we are in globalization.
03:14 We have been there for centuries and it is accelerating.
03:17 But our association, for years, has said,
03:21 "Yes, we have to open up to globalization, we have to do things."
03:24 So we're going to put a little bit of the package on it.
03:26 Because I had a little experience at this level in Brazil, in Russia, elsewhere.
03:30 And so we're going to put a little bit of the package on it.
03:32 This year, we're even going to do a little mission in Brazil.
03:35 Find partnerships, define small cooperations with them,
03:39 small exchanges.
03:40 And so if people have ideas, they can always come to us.
03:44 - There you go. - There you go.
03:45 - I'm calling on... - You're not obtuse.
03:48 Well, it's important, Marcel.
03:49 A wink anyway here at the Salon.
03:51 We want, in any case, as you just mentioned,
03:53 to ask you, to help you, to embark with you.
03:56 It's possible.
03:57 Just contact the Association of Writers.
04:00 On the Internet, on EAP, Peisans, you can find an Internet site.
04:04 If you have ideas for us to improve it, it's good too.
04:07 - And you saw it. - You'll see some stuff anyway.
04:09 And the president is Erten eternally young.
04:11 Youth has no age.
