On Thursday, October 21, the minister announced a bonus of € 100 for 38 million
people. 38 million is the number of people in France who earn less than € 2,000,a huge proportion of the working and retired population. The State announces thissum to cope with inflation. But € 100 against the looming inflation is more thaninsufficient. ---- This is insufficient because it is not 100 € once that willallow us to pay for the fuel, the races, the electricity or the heating. The aimof this measure is not to support the proletariat but to buy social peace and afew votes. 100 € paid by the State and paid by the increase in VAT receipts,therefore by the popular classes, it is a way of exonerating the employers fromtheir responsibilities, to nip any wage demands in the bud. But it is also proofof the weakness of this government which has only given up minimally in the faceof yellow vests and the fight against pension reform: this time, it signs animportant check even before the start of 'a movement.We do not want a handout granted by the government, we want to make Capital pay.During the Covid crisis, it was we who worked without protection, it was in ourneighborhoods that we were hungry. During this time the employers reaped andcontinues to reap the benefits. "The world after" is finally back to normal andturnover is increasing Yet wages, direct and deferred, are not moving. Worse, theruling class wants to tackle unemployment. No announcements either for youngpeople, hard hit by the crisis. Without an increase in grants, precariousstudents are left to work in addition to their studies for a pittance. For thoseunder 25 without a job, even the minimal assistance that is the RSA remainsinaccessible.Faced with a government at bay, we must impose our demands. If he gives in alittle, it is because we can make him surrender. By getting involved in theunions and in the checks and balances, we can obtain real measures to fightagainst poverty. We can increase wages, including the minimum wage. The lattermust be increased and aligned with inflation. Deferred wages must be brought upto the minimum wage. Unemployment insurance reform must be abandoned. Socialminima must be increased to a level allowing a decent living and aligned withinflation. Their deconjugalization is necessary. Student grants must also beincreased and free CROUS meals must be generalized. All of these measures can beimplemented immediately.The government proves its weakness a few months before the elections. We can, wemust establish a balance of power favorable to our camp. The money, as we know,is in the employers' pockets and this is where we will go get it !
