As it
happened many times in Greece for six years since the explosion of
the financial crisis, the European Financial Dictatorship (EFD)
seeks to bypass democratic processes in order to impose the "Greek
model" throughout eurozone.
As The
Guardian reports:
France’s Socialist government has
taken the risky and controversial decision to bypass parliament
and use a special decree to force through a contested labour
reform bill by its president, François Hollande, that has brought
hundreds of thousands of protesters on to the streets.
The defiant move by the government
came as it faces growing pressure from its own rebel MPs and an
ongoing street protest movement that has seen violent clashes. The
government opted to use a heavy-handed and rare constitutional
tactic which allows policies to be pushed through without a
parliamentary debate after it failed to win over its own group of
rebels.
The move immediately sparked a
flurry of criticism from deputies and unions who accused Hollande
of authoritarianism and political weakness. “This is really
an authoritarian government,” said Jean-Claude Mailly, head
of the Force Ouvrière trade union. “If it was really a bill
for social progress ... the majority [vote] would be found.”
[...]
The move to legislate by decree has
been used only once before by Hollande, when he forced through
another package of controversial economic measures last year.
[...]
The government has argued it needs
to cut red tape and the more cumbersome regulations that deter
employers from hiring in a country that has some of the most
extensive and protective labour controls in the eurozone. But
opponents, including trade unions and students, have said the
plans betray the values of the left and are too pro-business.
After two months of protests, the government watered down its
proposals. Now business leaders are saying the changes do not
go far enough.

It's obvious
that the European plutocracy is pressing for more measures against
labor. In Greece, under the pressure of default, previous and current
governments actually ignored the democratic procedures and voted
"urgent" bills according to the memorandums signed with
Greece's creditors. Most, if not all, of the MPs didn't have the time
even to read these memorandums in order to justify their opposition
against the orchestrated destruction of the Greek economy.
It appears
that such "urgent" procedures have been adopted now by the
French government, according to the Greek practice. The Social
Democrats and the Popular Right in Europe, who are completely
surrendered to the bankers and the lobbyists, are facing accumulated
difficulties to pass the neo-Feudal measures because the people start
to realize what's going on. We have now in France thousands of
protesters in the streets, a nearly permanent situation, although the
suppression measures become increasingly harder because of the
terrorist attacks which are used as a pretext.
After Greece
and the other countries of the eurozone periphery, the EFD attempts
to expand the neo-Feudal conditions to the heart of eurozone. Recall
that Hollande announced huge cuts
of 50 billion euros in public spending for 2015-2017 already at the
beginning of 2014.
Furthermore,
earlier this year, a German Finance Ministry report
predicted that Germany will have to take on uncontrollable debt if it
doesn't start making huge budget cuts. It was estimated that the
country would require budget cuts in the region of €7 billion a
year, starting immediately - and that’s according to the finance
report's more optimistic scenario for the future. Should their more
pessimistic predictions come true Germany would need to start saving
around €23 billion annually.
It appears
that the dialogue between the "bosses" will turn out to be
real:
Banksters
: ... The experiment in Greece continues as planned. Once we bring
salaries at the level we want, and destroy the welfare state, we
will continue to the rest of the eurozone.
BMCs
: Well, alright with the PIIGS, but how about France, Germany and
the entire north? People will never accept such policies there.
Banksters
: They will. We will start with Italy and Spain. We will order
rating agencies to attack, exclude them from markets and throw
them to the ECB trap. They will be forced to take similar
measures, as Greece did, in order to receive liquidity. Then, we
will attack France and Germany.

Update:
Thousands
took to the streets of major French cities, after the Socialist
government bypassed a parliamentary vote on a controversial labor
reform and approved it with an edict. Sporadic clashes erupted with
police who used pepper spray against protesters.
The crowd
gathered outside the National Assembly building in Paris held
placards reading “Democracy, where are you?” and earlier quotes
from President Francois Hollande condemning the very article of the
constitution used by his government on Tuesday.
