New day of mobilization in France this January 31 to challenge in the street the pension reform prepared by the government: the inter-union calls on the French to mobilize throughout the territory.
“We hope to do even stronger on January 31,” said Philippe Martinez, the general secretary of the CGT at the microphone of the Grand Jury on RTL-LCI-Le Figaro last Sunday. After a massive mobilization on January 19, the unions want a long-term protest movement. The inter-union (CFDT, CGT, FO, CFE-CGC, CFTC, UNSA, Solidaires, FSU) multiplies the calls to all union branches, and it seems to work because the transport or education unions have already announced to participate. The list of strike movements will become clearer over the days.
The vast majority of the left will join the ranks as was the case on January 19. “One thing is certain, we will be there again on January 31 to face the government and its reform”, assured the national secretary of the French Communist Party Fabien Roussel on the antenna of RTL, Friday, January 20. This date of January 31, far from being insignificant, comes the day after the arrival of the text on pension reform in Parliament. As during the mobilization of January 19, the demonstrations will be organized around numerous rallying points.
Where will the protests take place on January 31, 2023?
As usual, the rallies on January 31 will take place throughout France, with the capital as the main rallying point.
The UNSA maintains a menu interactive view of the various mobilization sites, which she agreed to share with Linternaute. All meeting places are not yet known.
