An unpleasant surprise for the farmer #
However, his planning was disrupted by the sudden arrival of dozens of caravans belonging to a Traveler community.
This unforeseen installation took place right next to the local rugby stadium, a place previously used by this same community but has since been secured by the municipality to avoid such occupations.
The direct impact on the harvest #
Intended to be mowed and transformed into hay, the land rented by Fourcade to the commune was ready for harvest. However, the occupation made any agricultural activity impossible, forcing the farmer to consider only grinding what should have been a lucrative hay crop.
The financial loss, estimated at around 1,500 euros, pushed Christian Fourcade to bring the matter to the authorities by filing a complaint with the gendarmerie, hoping to find a resolution to this unforeseen conflict.
The recurring problem of illegal occupations #
Every year, the problem of illegal occupation by caravans arises acutely, affecting private owners, municipalities and businesses. The prefecture and the agglomeration of Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées are trying to manage these situations, which regularly disrupt local life.
Steps are being taken to control this phenomenon, but the solutions remain complex and require the collaboration of all parties involved to be effective and sustainable.
