Philippe Poutou

Philippe Poutou believed that Nuñez was right to speak of a proportionate police response. He claimed that the government was seeking to suppress dissenters and silence them, even if it meant intentionally harming them or putting their lives in danger. He added that protesters were considered delinquents, regardless of their age. #Justice #Répression #Police (translated)

Philippe Poutou wrote that a "very beautiful day of demonstrations" had taken place in Bordeaux as well as elsewhere. He wondered how the anger could strengthen in the coming days and weeks in order to reverse the balance of power, and called for quickly launching calls for a united mobilization. #Bordeaux #Manifestations #Mobilisation (translated)

Philippe Poutou wrote that television commentators, whom he described as close to the privileged and defenders of an unjust order, expressed, according to him, contempt, hatred, and fear in the face of a movement of angry youth. He added that this movement might just be the beginning. #Jeunesse #Injustice #Révolte (translated)

Philippe Poutou called on labor and political organizations on the left to launch a general strike and to join the youth in struggle. He denounced what he described as a "hyper-violent" power, a fascist police, and ultraliberal policies, adding that the revolt should be organized. #GrèveGénérale #Lutte #Solidarité (translated)

We see better what the values of the Republic are that we are often told about: defense of the order of the dominant, with its inequalities and injustices, police brutality and other fascist militias, judicial repression against protesters, even the very young... #République #Inégalités #Justice (translated)

The power destroys public services and brutally represses resistance to liberal violence; in response, the youth have the right to express their anger, to block, to burn garbage, to break a little, to defend their rights, including the right to education for all. #JusticeSociale #DroitsDesJeunes #Résistance (translated)
