Still firmly opposed to pension reform, the CGT could continue to draw the weapon of power cuts to put pressure on the executive. Major cultural and sporting events could in particular be concerned.
The CGT intends to cut off the electricity wherever the executive will go, with the ambition of putting pressure on the government against the pension reform. Thursday April 20, while Emmanuel Macron was traveling to Ganges (Hérault), the college he was visiting and the city clinic were briefly deprived of power. The next day the direction from the private hospital decided to file a complaint, believing that the patients had been put in danger.
Power outages during major events?
The Minister of Health, François Braun, also condemned this course of action, writing on Twitter that “protesting is not playing with the health of patients and the work of caregivers“. In May, major sporting and cultural events could also be targeted: the Cannes festival on the one hand, but also the Avignon festival or Again the Roland-Garros tennis tournament.
