Regarding the mobilization scheduled for Tuesday, October 18, Ian Brossat calls for a general strike: “Obviously I call for massive participation in both the strike and the demonstrations that will take place that day.” For the spokesperson, it is “essential if we want the government to listen a little more with the left ear and stop listening systematically with the right ear“.
“When you listen to Gabriel Attal who explains that the strike is useless“, in reference to the intervention of the Minister of Public Accounts who ruled on Sunday “unacceptable the continuation of blockages”the spokesperson shows his disagreement: “The reality is that all the great social advances in our country have been achieved thanks to strikes and social mobilizations.” And the deputy mayor of Paris to add: “I invite Gabriel Attal to renounce all the social gains that were obtained thanks to the strike.”
“Who decided that a worker should be paid with a slingshot?asks Ian Brossat. What we are seeing at the moment is that Total employees carry out an essential job and that, without them, France is not running.” Also according to him, the increase in wages must be general: “That’s why I see with a good eye the generalization of the strike, which will allow all professions to mobilize to demand better remuneration for work.”
