Paris, 8 December: date a milestone in the evolution of the Jackets

  • These are the words of the French Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe, the following: “Fuel tax cannot jeopardise national unity.” Its new proposal was "to delay the increase in fuel by six months", as reported by the Rajoy Government. Those bags have not bitten him the hook, however. The call for demonstration will be held tomorrow in Paris.

07 December 2018 - 10:12

Last Saturday, December 1, the Yellow Jaca protested in Paris, but along with them groups such as casseurs or “hausleak” burned the capital. President Macron was put in the spotlight of his party. Around the Avenue of the Champs-Elysées and the Arc de Triomphe acted without regard.

On 8 December, what happened could multiply and lead the Republic to an irreversible political crisis. These Yacarés do not believe what Edouard Philippe promised. What is more, their demands go beyond fuel tax: increased wages, increased purchasing power, increased incomes from toilets…

But above all, those Jaka want the President of the French Republic to speak in public, the words of Edouard Philippe do not matter. They want Macron to speak and to recognise that the political measures taken so far have been wrong.

These are young people who join the mobilizations called by the Yacarés of the city and who, in addition to fighting the police, destroy local shopping centres and public buildings. The French call it racaille or "chusma." If discharged, these sectors live outside the system.

These Yacarés do not join in their actions, but the French Government, in addition to condemning their activity, asks the Jaca to put them before them. The fact is that if the crisis were to be resolved, these sectors would not benefit from extraordinary benefits. In a word, it is an increasingly broader society that lives outside the system.

The French Government believes that a round table can be set up to enable us to emerge from the crisis without violence or sexual assault. However, Jaka Horia is not “democratic interlocutors”, which makes consensus difficult. In other words, they are not within the rules of democracy.

For the first time since the beginning of the crisis, the radical left in Parliament, through Jean-Luc Melénchon, and the extreme right, Marine Le Pen, have stood up to the crisis. The groups in the Left Margin have called for the resignation of Macron and have called for prison. It has not prospered, because most of the Basque chamber supports Macron.

According to Marine Le Pen of the National Front, the only one able to stop the mobilizations that can put Paris on Saturday, December 8, is Emmamuel Macron. The president has to speak to the French, but his speech cannot be trivial.

If the crisis is to be overcome, Jaka’s demands will not be neglected, at least to a large extent. Moreover, in the last two days, students, transporters and farmers, among others, have joined the last popular movement that has emerged from “nothing”.

The French trade unions are forced to turn to the background. Those who meet in the Jaka Horiak movement are many members of these unions, many of them without trade unions, but at the moment the union leaders will not sit at the table of a possible negotiation. Alea jacta est!

Yellowish laru

The movement of the Yellow Vests, as soon as it was lifted, was condemned to shut down. There it goes. It seemed that I would get nothing. Because he rebelled against a simple tribute? Or because it didn't pose a serious redistribution of rewards and riches? Now the discourse is... [+]
