Jean-Luc Mélenchon hopes to make a show of force, Sunday, October 16. After a failed comeback, marked by business quaternans and Bayou, the Nudes intends to occupy the social terrain. The march against high prices and climate inaction would only be a first step. For us, there are two dates that are now in the picture. There is clearly this demonstration on Sunday, which is an important moment to show popular support for the initiatives that are underway, and then the strike date of next Tuesday”details the rebellious deputy Manuel Bompard.


On Tuesday, several unions, whose CGT, are calling indeed to a day of action. Railway workers, public transport, road workers, EDF: all these sectors are called to cease work. A strike for wage increases that comes as inflation continues. The majority wants to minimize the risk of contagion from the protest. How many French people today are busy knowing how they are going to fill their tank, how they are going to be able to fill their fridge? I think that the demonstrations, the counter-demonstrations, the appeals, the counter-appeals, frankly, the French, at some point, are fed up”assures Karl Olive, Renaissance deputy. The National Rally talks about political recuperation.
