His name is Cedric Liechti, afaik he's the "secretary general" of the energy workers's CGT of Paris. He pronounced this speech at the garbage workers picket line which blocks the entry of one of the garbage incinerators in Paris.

Macron said that France could have stopped the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, especially with the help of its African allies and its Western allies as well. But he then added that “France did not have the will/desire to do it”.
Apparently he is planning a speech on that specific subject on Sunday.
Dude needs a whole speech and so many words to say that France was an accomplice and active participant in the genocide in Rwanda? Like having the means and ability to stop a genocide but refusing to or “not having the will/desire” to stop a freaking genocide is called being a fucking accomplice.
as you probably know, france is going through a period of violent protests. here is a probably better explained version of why it’s happening than whatever i can come up with.
to make it short, the French government forced a law to make the age of retirement at 64. since 2017, the macron government passed a lot of laws destined to break the social system that we have (even if flawed).
this retirement law is extremely unpopular, and had been forced by the 49.3 article (i think the US equivalent is executive order). this means that the assembly couldn’t vote it. the voting attempt to dissolve the assembly and kill the law in the egg didn’t work out. it missed 9 votes in favor of the dissolution.
people have been protesting outside for weeks. the government doesn’t care, and police brutality is rising exponentially. the prime minister thanked the police yesterday as a lot of protesters are put in custody for nothing. they put in custody innocent people, even tourist kids. people lost limbs too.
what is happening is borderline unconstitutional, and amnesty condemned the French police brutality.
what can we do? as the protesters outside sacrifice their work days to fight against the government, money is getting scarce.
to help the protesters and to help them continue to protest, strike funds have been created.
even a dollar will help them fight the government, so if you can, please donate or share. our lives are on the line.
Caisse de solidarité
this is the link to the strike funds. to donate, click on "faire un don en ligne"
then you can choose "PayPal" for international folks.
the situation is bad. but we can make it worse for the government. stand with us and stand against social regression in France
Vous savez quoi ? Je pense que le SMIC devrait être à 2000€ euros par mois, et que l'âge de départ à la retraite devrait être à 55 ans.
Aussi je pense qu'il faudrait taxer sévèrement tous ceux dont la fortune dépasse 5 millions d'euros et utiliser toute cette thune pour financer les retraites, les hôpitaux, les écoles publiques, etc., et régler les crises de logement, comme ça on éradique les 43 milliardaires en rendant la vie plus juste pour les 67 autres millions de gens vivant en France, y compris celleux qui meurent dans les rues sous -4°C en hiver ou +40°C en été. En fait, en utilisant la fortune de Bernard Arnault uniquement, on pourrait rémunérer tout le reste de la France non pas à 2000€ euros, mais à 2400€ environ. Et c'est seulement la fortune d'un mec.
Imaginez si la fortune des 42 autres était dans les caisses de l'État.
Francia, Macron vara la censura su vaccini Covid: "3 anni di carcere e 45mila € di multa a chi critica trattamenti terapeutici 'ritenuti sicuri' dallo Stato"; ok dall'Assemblea Nazionale.
