This Monday, May 22, Maxime Binet discussed with his guests the demonstrations that took place today in Brussels, drugs and compulsory schooling from the age of three.
Demonstrators in the street, right to strike deadlocked? Alexis Carantonis, editor-in-chief of dh.be affirms that rights should not oppose each other (work and strike). According to him, yes, there is indeed an attempt to limit the right to strike. “We try to silence people”, he explains. Felipe Van Keirsbilck, general secretary of the CNE (CSC), says that in the current conflict at Delhaize, it is only the end of the first half. “We were nice but it won’t last”, he says. Xavier Dupret, an economist at the Joseph Jacquemotte Foundation, says we are seeing wages plummet as the power of unions weakens.
More than 18,000 demonstrators in the streets of Brussels for the right to strike and against social dumping: “A historic day”
The general secretary of the CNE compares in the form of a metaphor the situation of Delhaize employees with the victims of the Ukrainian conflict or even people who are raped. “What should be said to victims of violence? Should we tell the Ukrainians ‘you’ve been resisting for 14 years now, you’re starting to annoy us with your stuff… Let the Russians pass!’ If a young girl is raped or assaulted in the street, after a quarter of an hour do you have to tell her ‘listen, you’ve been resisting for a quarter of an hour now let it be…‘”
The second issue brought to the table during today’s program was the inappropriate use of medication. On the subject, Alexis Carantonis warns by saying that “drugs should not be taken like candy.”
Medicines, the first cause of poisonings in Belgium: “Never give an adult cough syrup to a child”
Compulsory school from 3 years old, never too early to be in class? It was the last question that animated the debate. For Alexis Carantonis, school is an opportunity and not a constraint. “The sooner the child goes to school, the better.he presses.
