Nearly three hundred demonstrators demonstrated this Thursday evening against the extreme right in Nîmes. It was the unions of the FSU, the CGT-Force Ouvrière, the Unsa and Solidaires who called for this gathering and demanded “a democratic and social surge against the extreme right. » “We demonstrate to remind our demands, to future leaders who will emerge from the choice of the people”announce the unions in their leaflet.
“We don’t say who to vote for, announces Maguy (Human Rights League). But we say who not to vote for. » “I am paralyzed, agrees, this activist. For the migrants we accompany and support, it will be a catastrophe if the far right passes. »
“A lot of people won’t vote (for the New Popular Front), continues a Gardois resident. But we must repeat that we have no choice. »
In the crowd, others regret that once again, only the unions are calling for this last gathering, before the first round of the Legislative Elections. “I am stressed and also full of hope, positive, a Solidarity activist working in culture. Today, this demonstration goes beyond the inter-union. There are also gatherings in Alès and Uzès. »
