“Record-Breaking May Day Protests in Draguignan: CGT Union Boasts 1400 Marchers in the Streets”

“For May Day, there have never been so many people in the streets of Draguignan!” In the eyes of Gilles Piazzoli, representative of the local Union of the CGT, the Dracénoise demonstration was a success.

“For Labor Day, there are usually only 200 to 300 people gathered in Draguignan. There we are 1400!” (against 1200 according to the police, Ed) he rejoiced.

And if he recognized a mobilization in withdrawal compared to previous movements against the pension reform, “It’s also because the number of local gatherings is increasing, like in Brignoles or Fréjus.”


And even in Montferrat, for the first time, with nearly 100 demonstrators gathered in the alleys of the villages according to the CGT, against 30 for the police.

In the Dracénois procession, to the sound of the sound of pots and pans and “the reform, we are going to bring it down”, the anger of the demonstrators was not empty.

Next step for the unions: the response of the wise men of the Constitutional Council regarding the shared initiative referendum (RIP), expected Wednesday, May 3, 2023.

“The inter-union will then judge the follow-up to be given to the movement”specified Gilles Piazzoli.
