Bordeaux. 200 étudiants réunis en AG appellent « à construire la mobilisation dans les universités »
We relay their call below:
In Bordeaux, this Thursday, January 19 in the Broca 2 amphitheater on the Victoire university campus, nearly 200 students, teachers and Biatss staff, gathered in an inter-facility General Assembly for the first day of mobilization against the pension reform. Students and staff from the University of Bordeaux, Bordeaux Montaigne and Sciences Po were present. A first for almost three years in Bordeaux universities.
The general assembly made a point of affirming that the government’s pension reform is deadly, and constitutes a violent attack against the social gains hard won by workers and youth through successive mobilizations. This reform is neither “just” nor “necessary”. Pushing back the retirement age is therefore a political choice: it is a matter of making workers pay for economic crises, by bringing the retirement age closer to the age of death. It is a choice of society, and it is not ours!

Nearly 2 million people took to the streets on Thursday: a first show of force that calls for others. The Bordeaux Inter-Faculty General Assembly meeting this Thursday, January 19 confirmed the importance of setting up a battle plan in the universities, like that of the refiners, which shows the way to the renewable strike. Throughout the universities, calls for youth and the academic world to join this dynamic and show solidarity with the world of work, which demonstrated all its strength on Thursday, must multiply. The government is determined to impose its counter-reform: organizing and structuring the mobilization in all the universities of France through General Assemblies, grassroots mobilization and coordination committees, is a necessity so that students take in hand and extend it.
It is in this sense that the Inter-Faculty Assembly, which brought together 200 students, calls for the holding of General Assemblies on each Bordeaux campus on Wednesday, January 25, in order to discuss this counter-reform with the most students as possible and to decide on the follow-up. To prepare for even more important strike days, the launch of the strike fund to support the mobilization of campus staff was also voted on. The inter-fac general assembly has instructed the mobilization committees, which bring together student volunteers, to take charge of the concrete implementation of these votes and the militant information work on the reform.
The only chose that we promise this reform is to work more to live less. Let us refuse this dark future that Macron and his world promise us: a life of “metro-work-cellar” in the service of the profits of a few
