Fred Laurent had “the ball in the stomach“. While he was due to present the programme for the Off Festival at the Bourse du Travail, the general secretary of the CGT 84 was forced to return to the attack suffered by the union. During the night from Monday to Tuesday, a Celtic cross, a rallying sign for far-right organisations, was tagged on the façade, near the door of the organisation’s headquarters, rue Ledru Rollin.
Very moved, pointing to a “aggression that makes you want to cry“, the CGT boss even ended up cracking, horrified by the “nauseating ideas of the extreme right, which are now being translated into actions“. “It’s freeing uphe continued. The extreme right is taking to the streets. They dare to do things they didn’t do before.“And the CGT was not the only target. The same evening, it was the alternative and associative place Le fenouil à vapeur, rue Carreterie, which was also the target of the same tag.

We know that as soon as there is an electoral victory, a moment that galvanizes the extreme right, we are among their targets.“Last January, the place had already been targeted, targeted by an attempted break-in and already tagged with the same symbol. A complaint had then been filed but nothing has come of it for the moment.
