La exitosa irrupci\u00f3n de los chalecos amarillos en la protesta social en Francia ha puesto patas para arriba a los analistas del establishment. Trabajadores que se aglutinanen un espacio y sentido com\u00fan: el descontento con un sistema injusto. La clave no es el aumento del combustible, es el hartazgo de los gobiernos de y para los ricos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mucho se ha hablado de qui\u00e9nes est\u00e1n detr\u00e1s de los chalecos amarillos como una forma de desprestigiar a un movimiento que ha puesto la voz de alerta mundial contra la tercera oleada neoliberal y el peso cada vez m\u00e1s voraz del capitalismo sobre las espaldas de los trabajadores.<\/p>\n

Los \u00faltimos tres gobiernos franceses han elegido como pol\u00edtica fiscal aumentar las desigualdades. Les han quitado impuestos a los empresarios, a los millonarios, a las grandes fortunas.Como contraparte, han ahogado a los trabajadores, les han quitado derechos y pretenden que la crisis capitalista las paguen los de abajo y no lo de arriba.<\/p>\n

El gobiernoconservador y tecn\u00f3crata de Emmanuel Macronhab\u00eda anunciado una suba en los combustibles que se materializar\u00e1 en enero. En2018 el aumento ya hab\u00edaalcanzadoun 23%.Desde la cajita de cristal en la cual gobierna nuevamente demostr\u00f3 el odio que siente por el pueblo.<\/p>\n

Para sorpresa del gobierno, los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n y las organizaciones sociales, sindicales y pol\u00edticas de Francia, un movimiento sin referencias ni liderazgos visibles ni estructura organizativa ha puesto patas para arriba las visiones maniqueas de la realidad de los generadores de opini\u00f3n. La visibilidad del enojo social en tiempo de Revoluci\u00f3n 4.0 fue la utilizaci\u00f3n de esos chalecos amarillos fosforescentes que debe usar obligatoriamente los automovilistas cuando tienen que bajar de su auto en la ruta. Esa visibilidad est\u00e1 hoy dando vueltas al mundo.<\/p>\n

Las convocatorias surgieron por whatsApp, twitter y facebook y cuatro semanas despu\u00e9s ya concitan el apoyo del 72% de los franceses y su efecto se ha contagiado hacia sus pa\u00edses vecinos B\u00e9lgica, Holanda y Espa\u00f1a. Y promete no detenerse.<\/p>\n

Desde su aparici\u00f3n en la vida p\u00fablica, el sindicalismo combativo, los estudiantes y otros movimientos se ha sumado a las protestas de los chalecos amarillos. La ultraderecha del Frente Nacional de Marine Le Pen ha tratado de cooptar este espacio para llevarlo hacia las aguas podridas del racismo. No lo ha logrado.<\/p>\n

El reclamo social excedi\u00f3 el tema de los combustibles. Se exige ahora por una \u201casamblea de ciudadanos\u201d, una especie de constituyente social, que debata el rumbo socio-econ\u00f3mico del pa\u00eds. La pregunta es clara, \u00bfc\u00f3mo es posible que Francia haya sido en 2017 el quinto pa\u00eds productor de riquezas en el mundo en tanto que el desempleo y el trabajo precario crecen?<\/p>\n

Las demandas sociales tambi\u00e9n se hicieron visibles ante la sordera de Macron, el pedido de dimisi\u00f3n al presidente reson\u00f3 en las manifestaciones de este s\u00e1bado 8 en toda Francia.<\/p>\n

– Aumento del salario m\u00ednimo a 1.800 euros mensuales con repercusi\u00f3n sobre el conjunto de los salarios, pero tambi\u00e9n de las pensiones y m\u00ednimos sociales.<\/p>\n

– IVA del 5,5% para los productos de primera necesidad, particularmente el gas y la electricidad.<\/p>\n

– Un sistema tributario progresivo, que tenga en cuenta los ingresos<\/p>\n

– El restablecimiento del impuesto a la riqueza que fue quitado por Macron, pero tambi\u00e9n por sus predecesoresSarcozy y Hollande.<\/p>\n

El pueblo logr\u00f3 una primera victoria, que Macron, al que llaman \u201cpresidente de los ricos\u201d, haya tenido que quitar la medida de la suba del combustible y garantizar que tampoco habr\u00e1 aumento en el 2019. La precisi\u00f3n de este apodo reside en el cambioal impuesto que otorg\u00f3 a las grandes fortunas que le perdon\u00f3 a los millonarios seis mil millones de euros.<\/p>\n

La central obrera m\u00e1s grande y representativa de Francia, la CGT, sum\u00f3 su estructura a las marchas y demandas de los chalecos amarillos. Denunci\u00f3 que el pa\u00eds que proponen Macron y sus poderosos aliados es \u201cuna sociedad sin perspectivaspara los que producen la riqueza mediante el trabajo. Ni a la juventud ni a los jubilados ni los trabajadores tienen futuro.El gobierno juega con fuego, banalizando las reivindicaciones e ignorando a las organizaciones sindicales\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cLos trabajadores activos, jubilados, los ciudadanos experimentan una c\u00f3lera leg\u00edtima para tener los medios para vivir dignamente, para m\u00e1s justicia social. Esta c\u00f3lera incluye a la CGT. En este per\u00edodo de claroscuros donde los monstruos pueden emerger, la CGT llama a los ciudadanos a que su c\u00f3lera no sea desviada por los que destilan ideas xen\u00f3fobas, racistas y hom\u00f3fobas. Es que es solo juntos que podremos influir en la pol\u00edtica del presidente de los ricos\u201d.<\/p>\n

Quisieron demonizar un reclamo social y lo internacionalizaron. Quisieron minimizarlo y circunscribirlo a un reclamo sectorial y ahora piden justicia social, distribuci\u00f3n de la riqueza y el fin del modelo conservador franc\u00e9s. El mundo acaba de descubrir que el pa\u00eds de la igualdad y la fraternidad hay desigualdad y bronca.<\/p>\n

La historia rebelde de Francia no est\u00e1 enterrada. La Comuna de Paris, La Revoluci\u00f3n Francesa, las revueltas obreras, el Mayo del 68 volvieron a la memoria colectiva vestidas con una chaleco amarillo.<\/p>\n

The successful incursion of the yellow vest social protest in France has put upside down the analysts from the establishment. Workers that come together in a space and common sense: they are instatisfied with an unfair system. The key of this movement is not just the raise of the fuel price, is the exhaustion of the governments that rule for the rich.<\/p>\n

A lot had been talked about who are the people behind the yellow vests as a way of discredit a movement that had put their voice as global alert against the third neoliberal wave and the increasing weight of an insatiable capitalism that falls off the backs of the workers.<\/p>\n

The last three French governments have chosen as fiscal policy the raise of the inequality. They have reduced taxes for the businessmen, the millionaires and the great fortunes. In the other side, they have strangled the workers, they cut rights and they pretended that the capitalist crisis should be paid by those at the bottom and not by the top ones.<\/p>\n

The conservative and technocratic government of Emmanuel Macron has announced a raise in the fuel price for January. During this year, the raise had already reached 23%. From the high tower where Macron rule far away from the people, he shows the hate that he feels for the poor.<\/p>\n

For the surprise of the government, the mass media and the social, union and political organizations of France, a movement without references or visible leaderships or organizational structure have put upside down the manichean vision of the reality reproduced by the media. The visibility of the social anger in times of Revolution 4.0 was the utilization of those yellow vests which the drivers are forced to use obligatorily when they have to get out of their cars in the route. That visibility is going around the world today.<\/p>\n

The call for a demonstration in the streets appeared by WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook and four weeks later this movement already has the support of 72% of the population and its effect has spread to neighboring countries as Belgium, Holland and Spain. This wave does not appear to stop in the short term.<\/p>\n

Since its apparition in the public life, the combative trade union, students and other movements supported the yellow vest protests. The extreme right wing of the National Front of Marine Le Pen tried to co-opt this space and drive it to the rotten waters of racism. They didn\u2019t make it.<\/p>\n

The social claim exceeded the fuel problem. It\u2019s now demanding for a \u201ccitizen\u2019s assembly\u201d, a kind of social constituent power that takes the debate about the socio-economic model of the country. The question is clear \u00bfhow is possible that France had been in 2017 the fifth wealth producer in the world while the unemployment and the outsourcing grew?<\/p>\n

The social demands also became clear and visible despite Macron\u2019s deafness. The demission request to the president was one of them and sound in the protests of this Saturday 8 in whole France.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Raise of the minimum wage to 1.800 monthly Euros with impact on the whole salaries, but also the pensions and social minimum.<\/p>\n

\u2014 VAT of 5,5% to the first need products, particularly gas and electricity.<\/p>\n

\u2014 A progressive tax system, which have in mind people incomes.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Restore of the rich tax which was removed by Macron, but also by his predecessors Sarcozy y Hollande<\/p>\n

This movement had achieved his first victory as Macron, who they call the \u201cpresident of the rich\u201d, was forced to back off on the fuel price raise and ensure that there will be no increase in 2019. The accuracy of this nickname resides in the change to the tax that he granted to millionaires, forgiving them a fortune of six billion euros.<\/p>\n

The largest central union in France, the CGT, supported the protests and demands of the yellow vest movement. They denounced that the country proposed by Macron and his powerful friends is \u201ca society without perspective for those who produce the wealth with their work. Youth and retired workers have no future here. The government plays with fire, trivializing the demands and ignoring the trade union organizations\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe actives and retired workers and all the citizens feel a legitimate anger when they ask for the means to live with dignity and for more social justice. This anger includes the CGT. In this dark period where extremist ideas can emerge, the CGT calls the citizens not to let their anger be diverted by those who claim xenophobic, racist and homophobic ideas. The only way to influence in the policy of the president of the rich is to join and be together\u201d.<\/p>\n

They tried to criminalize and underestimate a social claim and they globalize it. They wanted to minimize and limit it to a sectorial claim but now they ask for social justice, wealth distribution and the end of the conservative french model. The world had just discovered that in the country of the equality and fraternity inequality and anger is the rule.<\/p>\n

The rebel history of France is not ended. The Paris Commune, the French Revolution, the worker riots, the 68\u2019 May now came back to the collective memory dressed with a yellow vest.<\/p>\n
