The CGT energy disconnects “La Provence”, the prefecture and the RTM

The press conference held Monday by the various CGT sections of Bouches-du-Rhône announced the color. “If the government is stubborn, there would be no limits in the energy sector”, warned Renaud Henri Renaud Henry, of the CGT “mines energies”, ready to “harden the movement” of opposition to the pension reform.

Unionized Enedis agents joined the action on Tuesday and cut the power to various buildings in Marseille. An operation ironically called “energy sobriety” demanded by the union. The power supply for the daily printing press Provence was thus cut off for long hours and the Alpes and Vaucluse editions could not therefore be printed.

In his editorial of this Wednesday, Aurélien Viers, the new editorial director of the newspaper bought by Rodolphe Saadé, boss of the CMA-CGM, denounced an act of “censorship” and “sabotage” carried out by those nostalgic for the “Stalinist Soviet Union”. According to the boss of the newspaper who took up his post on Monday, Enedis has already lodged a complaint while the Provençal daily “reserves the right to do so”.

Provence was not the only institution to be the only target of the strikers. They also demanded the cuts in the power supply to the prefecture and to the RTM depot, Marseille’s public transport operator. The Bonne-Mère and the ice rink were also plunged into darkness, according to the union.
