WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, FA: Solidarity with Ludo, dismissed by the Ministry of the Interior, with the complicity of the SNCF! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

July 30, 2025, 6:00 AM. ---- A search is conducted at our comrade's home. Following photos taken by law enforcement during the May 1st demonstration in Metz, torches are seized at his residence. ---- November 2025. ---- Our comrade is subjected to a precautionary measure prohibiting him from going to his workplace. This measure follows an administrative police investigation that retraces his activist and union activities and suggests a suspension from his position. Our comrade is contesting the investigation and its conclusions with the Ministry of the Interior; with the administrative court; and currently before the Court of Appeal.

It is indeed the state that is silencing this worker for his political opinions.

The comrade appears before the public prosecutor on charges of "possession, use, and concealment of explosive devices." It should be noted that this hearing is unrelated to his professional activities. Sentence: 5 years suspended sentence and a EUR200 fine. The offense is not recorded on his criminal record. At this stage, the proceedings for "possession, use, and concealment of explosive devices" are closed.

April 10, 2026.

While the employer makes no complaints regarding our comrade's work, and while the legal process is underway, the SNCF (French National Railway Company) sends him a dismissal letter, bypassing standard procedures and labor law.

At a time when the case is under appeal, and without a decision yet rendered, the SNCF chooses to side with the Ministry of the Interior, which has ruled that his job and his activist activities are incompatible.

How can we not see the political pressure exerted by the Ministry of the Interior to impose its decisions on a company?

A first rally in support of the Sud Rail union's call to action took place at the Woippy rail yard, bringing together more than 120 people in solidarity.
