the risk of contagion of anger

A march against expensive living is to take place on Sunday October 16, launched by Nupes and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. It is a first pressure on the government, with demands such as price freezes or wage increases. Tuesday, October 18, an interprofessional strike, at the initiative of the CGT and with other unions that join it, must take place. Several sectors are affected, ranging from aeronautics, to transport and rail.

Are we heading for a general strike and a social autumn? In the entourage of certain ministers, there are many who do not want to relive the yellow vests scenario. The context is very particular: high inflation, a cost of living which is substantial and the pension reform which must be debated. There is therefore a potential risk of the contagion of anger, explains the journalist from France Télévisions, Arnaud Boutet.
