“One hundred days of action and anger” in response to the “one hundred days of appeasement and action” announced by Emmanuel Macron in his April 17 speech. In a press release, the CGT Energy threatens to disrupt several major events planned for May, as BFMTV points out. ” In May, do what you like ! The Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix, the Roland-Garros tournament, the Avignon Festival could end up in the dark! warns the union.
The red carpet of the 76th edition of the largest film festival in the world, which is to take place from May 16 to 27, could therefore be done in the dark. According to Anna Creti, an economist specializing in energy issues, the CGT has “technically the means” to carry out its threats.
“The time is far from resignation”, harangue the unions of the National Federation of Mines and Energy (FNME) of the CGT. “Our debates bring out offensive, firm and unanimous positions,” they assure, also announcing “a national day of anger in energy on May 3”, as well as “energy disruptions” with each movement of the executive.
The energy unions have entered into what they call a “grevilla”. They have already claimed several power cuts, such as Thursday at Montpellier airport and in a college in Hérault during a trip by the President of the Republic. The visits of Emmanuel Macron and ministers are disrupted, even after the enactment of the pension reform, at the center of the tensions.
Christophe Béchu and Jean-Christophe Combe were treated to a stormy welcome committee, when Roland Lescure and François Braun tried to discuss with the opponents who were waiting for them firmly. Agnès Firmin-Le Bodo canceled a conference following “serious and proven threats of trade union origin and in connection with the movement against pension reform”.
