The leftist sector of the French Government, the trade unions and student movements, including those of the Basque Country, have begun mobilizations to resume or at least substantially modify the project of the new labor reform, challenging the Hollande Executive. It has only been the prelude to the day of general strike and mobilisation scheduled for 31 March. If the labour reform is approved, the citizens of Iparralde and Hegoalde will also be captive of job insecurity and cheap dismissal, since the intention of the French Government is to copy the law in force in the Spanish State.

Although the intangible law of 35 hours a week is not formally amended, the French project will collapse with irreversible actions. It allows redundancies for economic reasons – it would suffice to have losses or a decrease in turnover in four quarters – and reduces the limits for redundancy payments: For those who are 20 years old, 15 months old, instead of the 24 and 27 months they are today. The employers are crazy with joy and do not want the workers' opposition to bring "sales".

Both right-wing governments, the Spanish State, and the Social Democratic Left are in the interests of capitalism. Euskal Herria is a prisoner of these states and governments, as well as of their reforms, and he would do well if he began to seek his own path towards an alternative socio-economic and labor model that would enable us to overcome capitalism and be at the service of the citizens, especially the weakest and most needy.
