Position: [ 48°49N, 2°19E ]
I remember once hearing a comment about what makes Europe so different from any other places in the world: Gastronomy and Unions.
Actually, one of the French claims of fame, is the annual series of demonstrations that can immobilise the country.
Today, the French Communist Party (PCF) and associated unions to protest organised a demonstration against the increase in the cost of living and against the evil consequences of capitalism, as can be experienced through the financial and economic crisis these days.
It was again confrontation between workers and leaders.
The demonstration went from the employer’s union (MEDEF) to the presidential palace.
