A general assembly in front of the station, with the railroad workers who renew the strike, followed by a demonstration in the streets of the city and to finish a night meeting in a sports hall: this Thursday in Amiens (Somme) Jean-Luc Mélenchon and François Ruffin did not count their hours against the pension reform. “We don't dream of being billionaires, we dream of living like ours. And this struggle has no other meaning, "thundered the leader of the Insubmissives in front of the railroad workers by invoking" the old Jaurès ".
Black jacket, red tie on white shirt, Jean-Luc Mélenchon does not spare Emmanuel Macron: "This man made us pay dearly for his liberal hallucination: after the Labor Code, the status of the public service, pensions".
François Ruffin continues: “What we are experiencing is the comet tail of liberalism. Macron is a new face on very old things. "
"There is no need to rackete people"
And the rebellious deputy of the Somme hammers: "We are told that the big problem is the 7 billion pension deficit in 2027. We can feel that even the ministers no longer believe in it (Editor's note: on pension reform ) . But the problem is that they do not need to believe it because they can operate a forceful passage. "
By taking turns speaking, the two rebellious leaders drive the point home in front of an audience won over by half a thousand people. "The country is as rich as ever in its history and there is no need to racket people," says Mélenchon. “We learn at the same time that we want to postpone retirement and that the absolute record of dividends paid to shareholders has just been beaten, it's indecent. "
Mocking the bosses and the government, Mélenchon ends late in the evening: "These people, if they could have, they would have even made God work Sunday! It is a world of selfishness that is taking place. The only watchword is withdrawal. "
