Around 170 people responded to the unions' call to celebrate May 1st in the streets of Millau.

The speech of Dalila Belaid-Artis, with the banner of Sud-Solidaires, did not beat around the bush to point out the objectives of the May 1st rally in Millau.& ;nbsp;"On this May 1, 2024, the extreme right is still marching while dressing up in the clothes of defenders of workers' rights, she introduced . The extreme right is the ally of capitalism, a fraction of the French bourgeoisie chooses to bring it to power, around a nationalist and authoritarian project." His remarks were largely validated by the 170 people present on site for this international workers' day.

"An austerity plan threatening our achievements"

For the CGT, Céline Tabariès, as usual, did not mince her words on the microphone. "The workers are once again affected by an austerity plan threatening our social achievements and our public services. It is essential to oppose these unjust policies that favor the richest to the detriment of the most vulnerable workers."

A public meeting on the hospital on May 14

Obviously, the various speeches also mentioned the situation in the Gaza Strip. "We cannot remain powerless in the face of the situation ;horror of this conflict, where the population is massacred and cannot access medicine and drinking water while the International Court of Justice denounces a risk of genocide, insisted the representative of the CGT. Workers everywhere must mobilize for a cease-fire and a stop to the delivery of weapons."

Before heading to the Sully-Chaliès quays, the inter-union of the Millau hospital recalled the holding of a public meeting on Tuesday May 14 at 8:30 p.m. on the theme "From the Millau hospital to the common hospital, between announcements, fantasy and reality, what about the project&nbsp ;?".
