She fought all her life to have her husband’s death recognized
As Midi Libre reminds us, Aimée Prat, also a native of Alès, was a union activist. Widow of a miner, she was beaten for many decades under the banner of the CGT for the rights of the wives of miners who died in the exercise of their work. It must be said that the job of a miner is very dangerous: accidents are frequent, and often fatal. Since the beginning of the 20th century, more than 1,500 French people have lost their lives in mines, and the Courrières disaster in 1906 is the most tragic that France has known, with nearly 1,100 victims. For now, Julien Doré did not publicly react on the death of his dear grandmother, but there is no doubt that he will be able to pay her a moving tribute as he knows how to do them, in song and/or on social networks.
