Revolutionary French on strike against Sarkozy

I was missing a great strike for some time. Nothing would better reward my patience than a strike a la francaise, une petite revolution.

That is what is happening today. “France is bracing for strike chaos”. Accoding to the BBC, transport workers are striking against Sarkozy’s pension reforms.

In other words, Monsieur le President is desmantling the French social state – a task as difficult as the jobs of Hercules – and it is obvioulsly facing the outrage of the french workers.

Predictable this was, actually. He had promised it before and he was elected. Today he just promised to keep his promises.

I am seriously looking forward to see where this is going to end. Not this strike particularly, but this presidency.

The revolutionary French people have chosen to put in Le Eliseu a revolutionary president. The problem is that, though they share the temperament, they lack the consent.

Allez enfants de la patrie…
