The massive marches have been repeated, with slightly less follow-up than in the previous two days, to demand that Emmanuel Macron withdraw the pension reform, on another day of partial strikes in Ipar Euskal Herria and France.
In Baiona, 12,000 people They have taken to the streets, summoned unanimously by the unions. According to the police, there were 7000. In addition, the conveners have called for another demonstration for next Saturday, February 11. It is expected to be the most massive march.
The strikes have not had as much follow-up as in the previous two weeks; for example in the transport sector or in education, where fewer teachers have gone on strike. However, extensive monitoring has been carried out and three of the four refineries have failed to operate.
The aim of the conveners, the union sector as a whole, is to stop the economy in order to stop parliamentary debate. The president’s text has just begun to be debated in tense sessions of the National Assembly.
As with the other two previous mobilizations, trade union organizations led the demonstrations. The CFDT, the most important in France, and the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), second in importance, have accused Macron and his government of their “deafness” in the face of public opinion opposition, mostly to the current reform.
The leaders of the left parties, who are trying to hinder the passage of the reform in the Assembly with a barrage of amendments, have attended the Paris protest. Spokesmen of the progressive Nupes coalition (formed by the Socialist Party, La Francia Insumisa de Jean-Luc MelenchonEELV environmentalists and the Communist Party) have emphasized how unpopular the reform is.
“70 percent of the population is against it, all trade union organizations and workers are against it,” he said. Manuel Bombarddeputy and coordinator of the Unsubmissive France.
