Philippe Pascot: « It is time now to hit hard ! Because if we do not hit hard, I can tell you that we will suffer. If we do not win this struggle to change the whole system, we will suffer.

In a few months, or in a few years, the French economy will be fine as well if we do not react or do anything. Everybody will have three low paid dirty jobs without any protection, and you will simply close your mouth!! When you have three low paid dirty jobs, without any social protection, and you can’t even go and see a doctor because you can’t afford to pay but the social insurance is doing well… When you have three low paid dirty jobs, without any protection, and no trade unions to defend yourselves, because they are also corrupted, so you just shut your mouth… And when your boss tells you to shut your mouth, you just do so, and that is the society they imagine for us.

Yes, I hate all of it, all these politicians, all these governments because they are all the same, none of them are really worth it! But do not worry, Macron, one day, we will come and we will seek what is due to us.”
