A left right divide
However, it is interesting to note that a real cleavage does exist between the left and the right on how to use it. On the left, the terms used aim for “workers ““pensioners ““super-cheeks “THE “banks “the “ineffective right “ who does not have the “popular support “etc. On the right, we talk about “The end of the assistantship ““The monopoly of violence held by the left “THE “middle classes “the “popular support “ from which we benefit, etc.
But especially at the MR, this is the word “effort” who was constantly returning to speeches. In that of Georges-Louis Bouchez as in those of David Clarinval and Pierre-Yves Jeholet, the federal and Walloon ministers of employment. “”You have to stop crying “ esteem go. “”The culture of the excuse is over. Today, everyone wants to do telework, nobody wants to work on Saturday and Sunday or after 6 pm “ Insists Jeholet. The same considers that “iIt is necessary to remind young and old that we must make efforts in life “. Bouc, add that it is necessary “favor merit to assistantship, effort to clientelism “. And Jeholet to put a layer with it with the “work that requires effort and sacrifice “.
As in 1960
At the PS, Magnette summons history with the single law of 1961 and the large strikes of 60, which he compares with the measures of the Arizona government. “”You have to go back more than sixty years to find such a brutal offensive against the world of work. The new single law preparing for the government is, like that of 1960, an unreasonable law, an operation of systematic dismantling of workers’ rights “. After reading the measures taken or in the process of being by Arizona, he launched some slogans against “RIGHT”. With Arizona “Work more to win less, work longer for a smaller pension “. For the president of the PS, these measures are “Even more serious than, at the same time, the right tackles everything that feeds democracy. The right, always more radical, flirts with racism and activates the hatred of the poor. She attacks civil servants, journalists, researchers, human rights defenders and climatic activists, artists, trade unionists, all counter-plagues “.
Labor day: Why do we offer lily of the valley on May 1?
At the MR, we were not outdone, in terms of attacks. However, the president had said early enough in his speech that he did not have “Want to talk about this left which explains to us that there is a peril of the far right each time we make a decision “. Then he will only talk about the left. “”Some instrumentalize fear, it’s Raoul (The cover), it’s Paul (Magnette), it’s Thierry (Bodson), it’s Jean-Pascal (Labille). They do it because our victory is their despair to see their world collapse. The one where misery was a need. The one where they love the poor so much that they made them every day “. But also when he considers that “In our country, some have made people believe that life unemployment was, solidarity “.
At the PTB, Raoul Hedebouw pointed to the disconnection with the reality of the federal majority: “The height is when Georges-Louis Bouchez comes to give advice by explaining that he spares half his salary: it’s easy to teach others when you earn 18,000 euros gross per month. How can you be so arrogant and disconnected from reality? “.

At the Rally of the MR, we will also have learned that the concept of hard work was unlikely to be taken into account in terms of pensions and others, if we believe Pierre-Yves Jeholet when he declares “that today all professions are painful “. In terms of teaching, in an audio spot centered on this theme, we discovered that “Contrary to what smoking teaching theories say, the child should not be the center of the education system, he is the recipient “.
On the left and on the right, a call for action
On the FGTB side, the socialist union, Thierry Bodson called for action, believing that he “There must be red anoraks in the streets every week”. A speech that is close to that of Paul Magnette calling nothing less than at “Résistance”referring to that which opposed the German invader during the Second World War. “”In the Resistance, socialists, political and union activists, invented the ideas that fueled half a century of progress. It is in resistance that courageous men and women invented social security, equality of women and men, economic democracy, protection of human rights, international cooperation. And these ideas born at the heart of the ordeal became, in the aftermath of the war, the great transformation forces of the world “. Perhaps forgetting that there were not only socialists in resistance.

Few surprises therefore during these traditional speeches where left and right are used to attack systematically. In finelet us still remember that if the PS, the PTB and the FGTB appeal to action, the MR did the same by urging activists to “mobilize as if the elections took place in two weeks “, so that the presence of the ruling party is “The beginning of a new world “. Just that.
