Claude Roustan's best wishes
"Dear fellow anglers,
In 2024, our mobilization was more sustained than ever in order to preserve all our achievements and look forward to 2025 with serenity, but also with vigilance due to climatic, political and social hazards.
However, we must never lose faith in the future of our hobby, nor forget its vital role in preserving aquatic environments. We must remember this loud and clear in all circumstances.
I'm delighted to say that our activity enjoys an excellent image among 86% of our fellow citizens, according to a survey carried out by the FNPF with the Harris Interactive institute.
This study confirms me in my action. In 2025, I'm as determined as ever to defend our shared passion, and to promote it with strength and vigor.
Despite the confused political and social situation, we will be redoubling our efforts once again this year to bring our sensitive issues to a successful conclusion.
I have no doubts about the commitment of our associative network, with its 40,000 volunteers and 1.5 million members. It is essential if we are to achieve our objectives!
On behalf of the FNPF Board of Directors, it is with confidence and optimism that I wish you a wonderful year 2025, punctuated by happy surprises.
Halieutically yours, "
Claude ROUSTAN
Chairman of FNPF
Let's hope that this year, 2025, will lead anglers and institutions to realize that our hobby is threatened not only by climatic hazards, but also by those who want to ban fishing in many places.
