The 2 CGT activists released for power cuts in Bordeaux will be retried. On the sidelines of demonstrations against pension reform, in spring 2023, two trade unionists from the CGT Énergie cut off the electricity of several thousand people.
After a first trial, the civil parties decided to appeal the release of the defendants. For the public prosecutor, these cuts were “a premeditated union objective” and had exposed patients “to a risk of death or injury”
