France: Towards the explosion of accumulated anger of youth and workers!

After four years of apathy, lethargy and inactivity of French society, which coincide with the four years (2012-2016) of the presidency of Francois Hollande, everything suggests now that the ongoing rapid awakening will lead to one of those volcanic eruptions - for many decades now - by the youth and labor movement of France! And we dare to predict that this could happen in the next few weeks, in mid April or May 2016.

So, "everything started" when the Hollande-Valls duo and the socialist-liberal government, made the most fatal mistake of an arrogant power: being sure that the French society was addicted to drink the bitter cup of their extreme neoliberal counter-reforms without reacting, they added a drop that made the glass to overflow. And because this fatal drop is fundamentally changing the "Labour Code" aimed at gnawing or even the complete elimination of the most basic labor rights been conquered in the last 100 years, we see the past two weeks an overflowing rage of the French youth and French workers on the streets of hundreds of French cities!

...

the last word now belongs not to the leaders, but to those at the "bottom" who seem determined not to compromise with the small retreats of the Valls government and lead their struggle until the final victory. In other words, something is finally shaken in the French society. This is nothing but the accumulated anger of millions of citizens, led by the youth, who promise a sequel both exciting and promising. In this gray and day by day more and more gray Europe of unbearable austerity, a massive, radical movement by the French youth and workers would be exactly what we need to regain courage and optimism. Here and throughout our continent!
