The mobilization of the public service this Thursday, December 5 brought together hundreds of people in the streets of Fort-de-France in Martinique.
Between 500 and 600 demonstrators according to the unions. 350 for the police. This Thursday morning (December 5), hundreds of civil service agents marched through the streets of Fort-de-France. They were mobilized to demand additional resources and denounce the deterioration of their “working conditions and remuneration”.
The government has been attacking us for a while. He has already attacked us on the freezing of the index point, it is stuck at €4.92. But also on the day of deficiency, on the day of solidarity. There are plenty of measures against civil servants. They said that the abyss of the State is due to the municipalities, therefore, we are fighting to say not to touch the municipalities because they are there to provide a service to the population.

This mobilization comes the day after the fall of Michel Barnier's government.
This is very good news, but we don't expect anything else under Macron. We will have worse than Barnier. Barnier is gone, but we will get worse. All these ministers do not listen to the salary world. These are notorious capitalists who are there for the capitalists, those who have money.
Leaving the Union House, the procession split in two. Some of the demonstrators went to the Fort-de-France Court of Appeal to support Rodrigue Petitot, the president of the RPPRAC.
