Laurent Berger targeted by a photo montage deemed homophobic by CGT Info Com

New controversial poster from the CGT Info Com union. This time, it was the secretary general of the CFDT, Laurent Berger, who paid the price. The union published Saturday evening on its Twitter account a photo montage representing the poster of a film entitled "Sado and Maso" with in the two main roles Laurent Berger and the boss of Medef, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux.

“Special dedication to @ CfdtBerger of @ CFDT on his practice of unionism which prefers to defend the interests of @ medef than employees and those who act to protect them from Covid-19! "It is also written in the tweet published Saturday evening.

FOR A "RESPONSIBLE" TRADE UNION!

"Fighting homophobia wherever it comes from, even from the left"

A montage deemed homophobic which quickly aroused a wave of indignation on social networks. Many internet users, but also personalities and elected politicians, have condemned this assembly, and called for its removal. “I imagine that @ lacgtcommunique will condemn this insult against another union with the utmost firmness, adding that it is clearly homophobic! "Wrote Emmanuel Grégoire, Anne Hidalgo's first assistant to the mayor of Paris. "Delete," tweeted feminist activist Caroline De Haas. "At @ stop_homophobie we stay on our line by fighting homophobia wherever it comes from, even from the left," wrote the association Stop homophobie.

When it is not his striking activists, it is directly the com service of @lacgtcommunique which stigmatizes gay relations, then read it "sadomasochism" as "sexual perversion" 🤨 @ stop_homophobie https://t.co / QFRggxv6L6

Several other sections of the CGT have also dissociated themselves from the CGT Info Com, demanding the removal of this photo montage.

Already several controversial posters

Faced with the accusations, the CGT Info Com reacted a few hours later, refuting the homophobic nature of the photo montage, and explaining what the practice of sado-masochism was. “Some internet users interpret this poster as homophobic. It is not so. We recall that sado-masochism is a sexual perversion (practiced by heterosexuals or homosexuals) in which excitement is obtained under the action of physical pain and humiliation (masochism) and by inflicting suffering on the partner (sadism ) ”.

Note Bene 2: in which the excitement is obtained by the action of physical pain and humiliation (masochism) and by inflicting pain on the partner (sadism).

It is not the first time that the posters of the CGT Info Com have been controversial. In 2016, the union published a poster entitled “Work law, stop the repression! "On which we saw police officers walking on a soil stained with red reminiscent of blood and another showing a baton and a CRS badge, near a puddle of blood, titled" The police must protect the citizens and not the hit ".
