Marion Debats

Marion Debats is an agricultural advocate and spokesperson for the Confédération Paysanne (CP) in Lot-et-Garonne, France. Recently, she has been in the news for her vocal opposition to the mass culling of cattle due to a contagious nodular dermatitis outbreak. Debats criticized the government's approach as 'inhumane' and called for a more targeted strategy that would only involve the culling of infected animals, highlighting the emotional and economic toll on farmers as winter approaches and conditions for disease transmission diminish.
