On September 10, a citizen call to block France could well mark the return of a mass challenge. Born on social networks, the movement “Let’s block everything!” »Federates popular anger without political label or union structure. Inspired by the energy of the yellow vests, he responds to the austerity plan announced in the middle of summer by François Bayrou: 40 billion cups, abolition of holidays, attacks on the sick, the unemployed, the employees.
Since then, government’s provocations have been linked: end of the 35 hours, hardening of sick leave, lengthening deficiencies … The spokesperson Sophie Primas, Minister Catherine Vautrin or the deputy Lefèvre have multiplied antisocial ideas. Meanwhile, the middle and popular classes toast-and the pressure cooker heats up.
If the unions and the left hesitate, the far right tries to recover the movement. But a militant fringe pushes to occupy the ground, rather than leaving it to others. In 2018, it was already said that the movement was incoherent. And yet he jostled power. Today, the terrain is even more slippery. And the slightest misstep could cause an uncontrollable shift.
