'coincidentally' after the Nice attack on Bastille Day - Hollande and
his cabinet put the final nail in the coffin of Social-Democracy in
Europe
Tragic
irony? A few days after Bastille Day, the French government,
absolutely determined, finally managed to lead France into the
entrance of the dark neo-Feudal era. The French political puppets
stayed absolutely dedicated to their mission as planned from the
start.
From telesur
:
Amid
months of nationwide protests, France's National Assembly
officially adopted President Francois Hollande's controversial
labor reforms, France 24 reported.
French
Prime Minister Manuel Valls invoked special constitutional powers
on Wednesday to force the contested labor law through parliament
in the face of opposition from left-wing lawmakers. Hollande and
his Socialist Party claim the law will curb stubbornly high
unemployment rates by making it easier for employers to hire and
fire workers, and unilaterally set working hours and wages.
However left-wing lawmakers and unions say the law is a
dramatic setback for France's working class and the historic gains
made in the country.
Organized
labor and student groups have long contended that the law will
only serve to lower the French standard of living, one of the
highest in the world. The labor overhaul has already sparked
months of protests across the country and a grassroots movement
known as Nuit Debout, or Night Standing Up. Since March, nearly
2,000 demonstrators have been arrested in clashes with police.
[...]
While the protests have triggered
continuing traffic disruptions, 46 percent of French people
support the unions' calls, according to a poll in the Journal du
Dimanche. Conversely, Hollande, who has implemented a series of
neoliberal economic reforms, is deeply unpopular with the French
electorate heading into the 2017 election. The bill aimed at
making hiring and firing easier sparked months of street protests
and waves of strikes by trade unions.

It's indeed
unbelievable how François Hollande and his cabinet are devoted to
their masters, the big banks and corporations. A week after Bastille
Day through which people are celebrating the end of Monarchy and
Feudalism, and all these things conquered by the majority since then,
the "Socialists" in France became those who decided to take
them back without shame. They exhibited absolute determination to
pass the anti-labor bill without even thinking the political cost.
The move
marks also the definite end of Social-Democracy in Europe and its
complete absorption from the neoliberal doctrine.
What has
been described in previous article
on the occasion of the French Revolution, that “the big
bourgeoisie has "filled the gap" left by the monarchs and
feudal lords, has dominated through the economic power, and now, is
taking back everything that has been conquered with the "plebs'"
blood all these decades. The whole story resembles a big fraud that
has been revealed in front of our eyes.”, is indeed taking
place in front of our eyes. Hollande and his cabinet are some of the
agents of this big bourgeoisie which establish the new Feudalism very
fast.
Also, it's
quite remarkable how fast the former Socialists acted after the
attacks in Nice. As also described:
“Just when the state of national emergency was about to end for
France at the end of July, Hollande announced a three-month extension
following the Bastille Day attacks in Nice. The decision was taken
almost immediately, but what's even most impressive, is that the
French government instantly recognized this new tragedy as a
terrorist attack, without waiting for Daesh or other extremist
organization to take responsibility. [...] In any case, the extension
of the state of emergency for another three-months comes right when
Hollande it needed. The football European championship party was over
and there was nothing to distract attention from the anti-labor bill
that he wants desperately to pass.”
Two days
ago, France's National Assembly has voted to extend the state of emergency for six months, just
to be sure. The events in Turkey came as a surprising gift and helped
Hollande even more, as the global attention turned quickly to Erdogan
and his games after the failed coup. The movement in France was
literally buried - the mainstream media already tried actually to
"hide" it - and the French puppets grabbed the chance and
moved very quickly to pass the anti-labor bill.
As the
Corporate Europe Observatory revealed:
“The current struggle in France over labour law reforms is not
just between the Government and trade unions – a European battle is
waged. The attacks on social rights stem in no small part from the
web of EU-rules dubbed 'economic governance', invented to impose
austerity policies on member states.”
Well, do you
need any other evidence that this is a class war, above all, and that
it probably always was?
