The municipalities of Ajaccio, Balisaccia, Bastia, Aleria and Alistro are affected by these cuts. "Rather than going to cut the electricity of users or professionals, we want to show that we are responsible people, we make cuts on night radars, not on users", was justified to France 3 Yannick Baudry, from CGT Énergie.
Philippe Martinez's confidence
He recalls that the members of his union are "strongly impacted by the reform and by a parallel project which wishes to dismantle the company". Protests against this executive project reached their 43rd blocking day on Thursday.
This Thursday, more than 82,000 people demonstrated against the pension reform in fifty cities outside Paris. At the head of the Parisian procession, where the CGT claims to have identified 250,000 demonstrators, the general secretary of the union, Philippe Martinez, displayed his confidence: “I don't see any shortness of breath. There are fluctuating rates of strikers in companies that have been on strike since December 5 and this is completely normal […] There is really a boiling like never before in this country. It must continue until the bill is withdrawn. "
