But the towns of the department will not see a parade or demonstration pounding their cobblestones, unlike the ten processions already planned in New Aquitaine. “It’s a decision taken at the departmental level with the FSU and Solidaires, we don’t want to be just among ourselves”, explains Corinne Charry, head of the CGT Departmental Union. This is why we did not call for rallies. “
Protests on the day
The activists therefore opted for another type of action. “We are going to take advantage of this day to hold general meetings, meetings and leaflets with private sector employees, public officials or in associations”, explains number 1 of CGT 47. Hospitals, public finances, national education or private sector companies will be affected. “We prefer to inform our colleagues directly at their workplaces, because there is a lot of misinformation. “
