Sandrine Rousseau is definitely not looking to make friends in the agricultural world. At the beginning of July, the Green Party MP caused controversy by saying that she "didn't give a damn about their profitability," obviously referring to farmers in connection with a question concerning the Duplomb law.
Less than a month later, the MP for Paris's 9th constituency has once again made headlines, and in a negative way. Sandrine Rousseau wants to buy a house in Dinéault, a small town of nearly 1,800 inhabitants: in the heart of an agricultural area.

The news has sparked anger among farmers, particularly those in Finistère, who could therefore become its new neighbors.
"How can you throw up on the agricultural profession and come and settle in a house that is surrounded by farms?" asked Patrik Sastre-Coader, an organic sheep farmer and future neighbor of the MP, on Facebook.
“ Surprised by this immersive choice among polluters”"Surprised by his choice to live in a rural Breton environment, very agricultural, very contested, very criticized, very despised. Surprised by this immersive choice among polluters, murderers, generators of dirty money," added the man who is also secretary general of the Rural Coordination.
Although the Green Party MP indicated that she chose the region because she has spent her summers with her best friend in Douarnenez, a town 25 kilometres from Dinéault, for the past 30 years, her move could be eventful.
