Laurent Nuñez, prefect of police of Paris, announced this Thursday morning on RMC that 568 police officers have been injured since the start of the mobilization against the pension reform.

For Rousseau, the Constitutional Council has “a historic decision to make”

Invited to the RTL antenna on the morning of a new day of mobilization against pension reform, MP Nupes Sandrine Rousseau calls on the Constitutional Council to take “a historic decision” this Friday.

“There is something historic in the face of the contempt and brutality of the power which locks itself up in the Elysée, which despises the unions”, she says, doubting the autonomy of the Elders.

In addition, for Sandrine Rousseau, Emmanuel Macron, “makes the management of France a personal matter.”

Garbage collectors’ strike: the Aubervilliers waste collection site blocked by demonstrators this Thursday morning

The strikers are mobilized this Thursday morning on the Aubervilliers waste collection site (Seine-Saint-Denis). Waste collection trucks cannot leave the site, blocked by strikers.

“We leave at 57 but with a pension of 887 euros, it’s minimal, so we have to go until 64-65, shift two more years, that would make me go up to 67 to have a full rate”, testifies a garbage collector at the microphone of BFMTV.

The garbage collectors’ strike renewed “at least until Friday” in Paris

The CGT calls on all agents in the waste treatment sector to mobilize again this Thursday and to “participate in blocking actions”.

Blockages of waste management sites and RATP depots are planned for the morning.

The strike is “extended at least until Friday”, announced Wednesday Régis Vieceli, secretary general CGT Paris FTDNEEA (Waste treatment sector water sewer sanitation).

Has air traffic suffered greatly from strikes since the beginning of the social movement?

Sporadic strikes have affected French airports since the start of the social movement against pension reform almost three months ago.

They prompted the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) to request preventive and repeated flight cancellations at several airports, including Paris-Orly, Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nantes and Toulouse.
