Towards a general mobilization of overseas territories?

While social protest has been raging (for a week) in Guadeloupe where the GIGN and the Raid were expected this Sunday, a call for a general strike was launched in Martinique, from Monday.

Signed by 17 unions, the strike notice, filed on November 15, details ten points of demands, including the end of the vaccine obligation and suspensions for caregivers, but also the increase in wages and social minima, the price fuels and gas.

Among the points appearing on this list, the total support of tests for chlordeconemia, a disease linked to chlordecone, this pesticide widely used in banana fields between 1972 and 1993, and suspected to be responsible for many diseases such as cancer of prostate.

Rushes in hypermarkets

Other corporations have already announced that they would also follow the movement, such as SARA (Société anonyme de la raffinerie des Antilles), or the Ducos penitentiary center, where some agents could go on strike.

If the intersyndicale makes an appointment with the population at the house of the unions in the morning, it remains very vague on the actions that could be taken, but on social networks, several messages evoke blockages on the roads, as in Guadeloupe.

Pending this general strike, part of the population rushed to hypermarkets and gas stations on Friday.

If again on Saturday morning, motorists lined up near gas pumps, the phenomenon dried up over the weekend.
