Figaro letter of October 13, 2022

Dear readers,

To put it mildly, the announcement of the first requirements in processing plants did not cause enthusiasm. Faced with the pressure exerted on the strikers by the executive, the unions did not give up the struggle. On the contrary, they called on others to join the protest and renewed their calls for a strike. Meanwhile, the fuel crisis is infusing the political arena with a left that is rested from the social movement and would like it to turn into a big general strike.

While France is struggling to fill its gas cylinders, German industry is under pressure, bearing the brunt of Moscow’s gas blackmail. We talk to you about that, but also about the bears that really annoy our shepherds, and about these French towns that have abandoned the sweetness of life to give way to violence.

Happy reading, dear subscribers, have a good day.

Louise Darbon
