WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, Lamouette Enragee: An Afternoon at Madeleine's (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 One might regret the low turnout at Madeleine's this Wednesday afternoon for the discussion on the workers' survey and class relations today. However, that would be to miss out on the pleasure of meeting up with old friends, but also, and especially, in the company of new faces! Gathering a dozen people in Boulogne-sur-Mer on a sunny afternoon to discuss the centrality of the working class and the class struggle in a period dominated by the rhetoric of urgency-climate change, anti-fascist sentiment, electoralism-is already quite an undertaking. Add to that the fact that most of those who were to be discussed-those who produce today's working class-were, by necessity, at work, and one can appreciate the relative nature of the low turnout and all the more the positive aspects of the meeting.

So, what were they? First, the setting provided for the debate, the Chez Madeleine bookstore, was pleasant, central, and facilitated discussion and fostered a sense of connection. We warmly thank the organizers for their invitation and encourage you to visit them, if you haven't already. We should also mention the quality and diversity of the contributions and testimonies. Those present belonged to different generations of workers, but all shared the same radical critique of work. The search for concrete solutions sparked lively discussions, proof, if any were needed, that this issue deserves collective attention, not just theoretical consideration.

Thank you again to all those who contributed their contributions to making this a fruitful and enjoyable event. This debate will lead to others as our research progresses.

You can still get your copy of the book "Before You Travel the World, Take a Tour of the Workshop" at Chez Madeleine, 54 rue Faidherbe in Boulogne-sur-Mer, and while you're there, relax with a coffee or a good beer.

See you soon on the streets!

Boulogne-sur-Mer, February 27, 2025.
