September 18th Motion: Sense of Unfairness Prevailing
In less than a week, France is set to witness a day of significant protests and strikes, with organizers predicting strong or very strong mobilization. This level of mobilization, if confirmed, would be comparable to that seen during the final stages of the fight against pension reform.
The day of action is a response to the government's budget project, with deeper roots in the sense of injustice felt by the French public. In France's political and social history, the sense of injustice holds a unique place and is a force to be reckoned with.
The organizations behind the day of action are Gewerkschaften (trade unions), soziale Bewegungen (social movements), and various environmental groups. The recent budget sequence and confusion over François Bayrou's choices have contributed to the public discontent.
Many French people have not digested the pension reform that was passed, and fatigue with the revolving door of prime ministers has also played a role in the current discontent. A sense of injustice has crystallized in public opinion, serving as a driving force behind the upcoming day of action.
Emmanuel Macron and his new Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, are in a state of political weakness rarely seen. They would be mistaken if they think they can simply ride out the storm for 24 hours, facing another manifestation of France's refractory character.
The French believe that the debt is unsustainable and are willing to make efforts, but only if these efforts are fairly distributed. The strong mobilization suggests ongoing discontent related to the pension reform passed by 49.3.
The Ministry of the Interior predicts between 600,000 and 900,000 protesters for the day of action. Discontent in the country is real, as indicated by this strong mobilization.
This first meeting, just two weeks after the start of the school year, demonstrates a mobilization stronger than a typical first meeting. The President and his new Prime Minister should not underestimate the message that the day of action will send. Both men still have the means to prevent a social crisis from being added to the political crisis that is flirting with a regime crisis.
In conclusion, the upcoming day of strikes and protests in France is shaping up to be a significant event, reflecting the deep-seated discontent of the French public. The government must carefully consider the message being sent and take action to address the concerns of its citizens.
