Πέρασε ο νόμος για τα εργασιακά στη Γαλλία

Το νομοσχέδιο για τη μεταρρύθμιση των εργασιακών σχέσεων στη Γαλλία, το οποίο πυροδότησε θύελλα αντιδράσεων και διαδηλώσεων τους τελευταίους μήνες στην χώρα, θεωρήθηκε σήμερα ως οριστικά εγκεκριμένο, καθώς δεν κατατέθηκε καμία πρόταση μομφής στην Εθνοσυνέλευση εναντίον της κυβέρνησης, ανακοίνωσε ο πρόεδρος της Εθνοσυνέλευσης Κλοντ Μπαρτολόν. Την έγκριση του νομοσχεδίου χαιρέτησε με γάλλος πρωθυπουργός, Μανουέλ Βαλς, με μήνυμα του στο τουιτερ. Ωστόσο η δεξιά αντιπολίτευση όπως και τα ακροαριστερά κόμματα ανακοίνωσαν ότι θα προσφύγουν στο Συνταγματικό Συμβούλιο όπου θα θέσουν θέμα εγκυρότητας του νόμου. Από την πλευρά τους οι συνδικαλιστικές οργανώσεις προκήρυξαν νέες κινητοποιήσεις την 15η Σεπτεμβρίου. Ο πρωθυπουργός της Γαλλίας επικαλέστηκε χθες τις ειδικές εξουσίες που του δίνει το Σύνταγμα της χώρας για να περάσει τον αμφιλεγόμενο νόμο για τις εργασιακές σχέσεις από την Εθνοσυνέλευση χωρίς ψηφοφορία. Σε μια αίθουσα σχεδόν άδεια από βουλευτές, ο Μπα

Iraq war families smash crowdfund target to put Tony Blair on trial

Roger Bacon, whose son Matthew was killed serving in Iraq, told RT that any money raised in a civil case by military families against Tony Blair will be donated to the Iraqi people to improve their lives. Matthew Bacon, a British Army major, was killed by a roadside bomb while traveling in a lightly-armored Snatch vehicle in Iraq in 2005. His bereaved father described to RT his awe at the staggering success of the Iraq War Families Campaign’s crowdfunding drive to fund a full legal examination of the Chilcot Report for evidence challenging the legality of the war. The online fundraiser hit its first target of £50,000 (US$66,000) within a day of launching on Tuesday, and it is now rapidly approaching its secondary target of £150,000. Roger said the funds are needed to hire a “ firm of lawyers to look at the Iraq report, to see just what kind of illegalities or misuse of constitutional powers have taken place. ” More: http://www.mintpressnews.com/
