Credited with 1% of voting intentions in the first round in our survey on regional in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and after his 1.41% of the vote in the 2015 elections, Guillaume Percher is under no illusions: “We will not be elected“, he said this Tuesday on France Bleu Gironde. But for him, that is not the objective of this candidacy. “Our goal is not just the ballot box. Elections are a way of discussing, it allows you to count yourself and assert yourself. Those who vote for us will be points of support for future struggles for workers“, he wishes.”We can say that we will not let ourselves be taken in by voting Lutte Ouvrière “.
Faced with the seven other candidates, whom Guillaume Perchet designates as “parties that defend the capitalist system, from left to far right” and that “come up with ideas“, Workers’ Struggle”advance the interests of workers“, he says. In this campaign, “we will be the eyes and ears of the workers. We will denounce the gifts to the employers“, he assures.
A big meeting this Tuesday evening at the Athénée
To carry these messages, Lutte Ouvrière holds the first major meeting of the regional campaign this Tuesday evening, with the arrival of Nathalie Arthaud at the Municipal Athenaeum at 6 p.m., with a maximum 35% gauge. “That’s good, because we’ve been silent for months. It’s time to speak again. We are in an advanced crisis situation, there have been more than 100,000 deaths, there are hundreds of thousands of workers who have lost their jobs. This crisis situation, we must not endure it. We must revolt against“, says Guillaume Perchet.
Himself an aeronautical employee, they denounce their profits. “Airbus, 380 billion, Dassault, in one year, 300 billion, Safran more than 300 billion over last year“, he denounces.”While there have been thousands and thousands of layoffs in the region. It’s unbearable. You have to take the money accumulated by shareholders to distribute the work among everyone, so that everyone has a job. It’s the only way out“. He criticizes Alain Rousset for having”gave tens of millions, for example, to Safran-Turboméca, in Bordes (64), while the same company fired temporary workers and subcontractors“.
With the Covid crisis, “we saw who was useful to society”
With the Covid crisis, “we saw who was useful to society“, considers the head of the LO list.”It is those below, the workers, the people in the hospitals, in the shops, in the factories, those who work the land, who keep society going. We say that it is they who are useful to society. They are the ones who must lead it “.
