Wednesday, October 12, Emmanuel Macron spoke on France 2, in particular on fuel shortages. The CGT calls for a general strike for Tuesday, October 18.
On France 2, Wednesday October 12, what messages did Emmanuel Macron want to convey? He wanted to explain to the French that one could not requisition preventively. The right to strike is a constitutional right. On the merits, he dismissed the unions and the employers back to back. The President of the Republic gave a scratch to the management of TotalEnergies, saying that they will “finally” negotiate.
On the other side, he wanted to warn the CGT: a blockage of the country is inappropriate, because we know that the French are very divided: 42% support the strikers, while 40% of them believe that we should not not block the country. The CGT calls for a general strike for Tuesday, October 18. In backstageit is said that there is a political offensive from the left of the left and the unions, between the positions of Clémentine Autain, Sandrine Rousseau or Force Ouvrière, explains the journalist from France Télévisions, Nathalie Saint-Cricq.
