Just like the month of January, the month of February promises to be socially charged. From February 7, the inter-union called on demonstrators to march through the streets of the country to oppose the pension reform.
“It is the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic who encourage us to go there, even more”, justified Phillipe Martinez, secretary general of the CGT. Guest at the microphone of France Inter the trade unionist has confirmed the dates of mobilization to come on February 7 and 11, during school holidays. The rallies will also be influenced by these, warned Philippe Martinez, “risking changing the places of demonstration” he warned on the radio. But then where are the mobilizations of February 7 planned?
