Sandrine Rousseau again asks for the resignation of Gérald Darmanin
Opposed to the mega basins – “it’s a tank with walls 8m high, 260 Olympic pools of water retained in a drought zone for a few farmers” -, a project to monopolize common water, in his eyes , which “justifies disobedience”, EELV deputy Sandrine Rousseau denounces the violence, “the orders that were given to Sainte-Soline”. “The State has the mission to keep the peace, which was not the case in Sainte-Soline”, she denounces on Europe 1. “Being on file S does not justify being left in a coma , no yellow vest had to be blinded and no policeman had to be injured, ”she summarizes.
Asked about the support, or not, by the Samu, of the man very seriously injured on Saturday during the demonstration, Rousseau attacks: “this is not the first time that Gérald Darmanin lies, he had already done so at the Stade de France. In a democracy that functions normally, the Minister of the Interior would be challenged by Parliament and public opinion, so that he tenders his resignation. Yes I ask for his resignation, ”she said again.

“Even Martinez is overwhelmed”
“It is true that there is a hardening. Even Philippe Martinez manages to be overwhelmed by more radical than him “within the CGT, recognizes Stéphane Le Foll. The mayor of Le Mans (Sarthe) believes that reformist trade unionism is “more than ever” necessary.

The country is not fractured, for Le Foll
“In the expression of democracy, there is always at the end the idea that the majority wins, that there is the possibility of coming back to it and that the next blow you will be able to change if that do not please you”, defends on Public Senate the former socialist Stéphane Le Foll. “Only the referendum makes a final decision”, he says, citing the example of Great Britain with the Brexit referendum, “there it fractures a country”.
08:04
The same time of Le Foll
“I don’t believe that dialogue is possible insofar as the Intersyndicale wants to discuss again the postponement of the age from 62 to 64 years when, from what I understand, the government like the president of the Republic do not want to discuss it. That said, the fact that Elisabeth Borne invites and that the unions go there is better than being cut off from any relationship, ”estimates, on Public Senate, the former socialist minister Stéphane Le Foll.

Uncertain outcome at the CGT congress
Several delegates have criticized in recent days the support given by Philippe Martinez to the request for “mediation” on the pension conflict issued to the government by the Intersyndicale. And that complicates his succession at the head of the CGT. His designated candidate, Marie Buisson, seems less assured of taking over.
The National Confederal Committee, the “parliament” of the union which brings together the representatives of the departmental unions and the federations, was to draw up a list of members of the Confederal Executive Commission last night, submitted to the vote of the Congress today. This CEC must then meet to agree on a new direction, then validated, or not, by the CCN.
