"I call to unravel the demands on May 1," said Fabien Roussel, PCF national secretary on Facebook. He invited "those who want to express their demands on social networks", with the hashtag # MasquésPasMuselés and to buy a sprig of lily of the valley on the party website.
Fabien Roussel will go for his part, at 7:00 am, in front of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital in Paris, to "offer a touch of lily of the valley to those who will go to take their work station." It will be a symbolic gesture to tell them that we are with them ”. He will also speak at 6:00 p.m. on his party's Facebook page and YouTube account.
“For 75 years, we have always been able to demonstrate. This year, we will not be able to, but it is nevertheless a year where the world of work is particularly at risk of suffering, therefore a year where the world of work must be united, united and determined to carry loudly its demands to be respected, not to have to pay the price for this crisis, whether health or economic, "said the PCF national secretary. The number one communist and deputy of the North added that he would once again table a bill asking for "the withholding of profits from multinationals, in order to be sure that the money will not go to tax havens" .
