Thursday November 29, place de la République, the unsubdued deputy called for the "responsibility of Paris and metropolises" to join the movement of "yellow vests".
Unite, unite, unite. This November 29, Place de la Republique, the word is on all mouths. While rural France is mobilizing against rising fuel taxes and declining purchasing power, the capital seems to be divided between apathy and hesitation. The unbaduming deputy François Ruffin, always attached to the convergence between the middle clbades and popular clbades, has once again rolled up his sleeves. Accompanied by the same small team with which he had co-organized Nuit debout in March 2016, he launched the idea of an improvised meeting, a kind of pre-party at Macron, in the presence of the economist and philosopher Economists stunned Frédéric Lordon.
"My role is to avoid reciprocal disregard between yellow vests and metropolises"
Among the small crowd (which will not exceed 500 people) gathered at the foot of the statue, Edouard, 32 years old, is delighted with this initiative: "We have to send from all sides! The 'yellow vests', but not that! We must take advantage of our strength, that of number! " In fact, that evening, railway workers, postal workers, or unemployed people without fluent vests will parade at the microphone, with the firm intention of joining the demonstration of December 1 on the Champs-Elysees. From the outset, Arthur, the collective Convergence of struggles (another pillar Night Stand), puts his finger on the paradox of the current situation: "In 2016, we occupied the seats, and we could not get out. Today it's the opposite: all the roundabouts are in fluorescent yellow in rural areas, the suburbs and overseas, but in Paris, it does not move! ".
What to do, then, so that the general overflow contaminates the metropolises, as the conspirators of this night wish? François Ruffin, who listens to the grievances of "yellow vests" in his district of the Somme since November 17, and who has not hesitated to join the demonstration of 24 in Paris, wants to play the role of "bridge" between two worlds who observe themselves in faience dogs: "My role is to avoid reciprocal disregard between yellow vests and metropolises", he says, after taking the time to thank all those who perform a "Invisible work", which makes this type of event possible (in this case the South Union, which lends the sound material). And the director of Thanks boss ! to put the crowd, and Paris, facing its "responsibilities": "You belong to the intermediate clbad, the one who has the choice of behind whom she ranks", he claims, in a remix of the slogan "Choose your camp".
"This city has its history"
And to coagulate the still scattered movements – even if the CGT recently called to demonstrate on December 1 – what better than to designate a common enemy? For the author of the "open letter to a president already hated", he makes no mystery. His target is Macron, his policy to fight urgently, and "Oligarchy." He quotes two measures that could "bring calm": "Make the ISF, and remove the tax on diesel".

But for him, nothing will be possible without mbad lifting of citizens – not just in rural areas: "As long as we are inaction, we are with the government", he warns before calling to invest the Champs-Elysees on Saturday. He concludes by referring to Paris: "This city has its history, despite the gentrification, despite gentrification. Paris rose in 1798, it rose in 1871, in 1936, in 1945 at the Liberation and during May 68 "he enumerates under the cheers. Similarly, rather than turning to the recent defeats of social movements (against the law Labor, Parcoursup or railway reform), he prefers to recall the victories: "There is a rejection in France of liberalism. It took place in 95, in 2005, and it will take place in 2018! "
"If we do nothing, the result in the polls will be the extreme right"
While the radical left initially looked with circumspection or even mistrust this spontaneous movement, dotted with elements of ultra-right, the speakers seem convinced of the opportunity to join it henceforth. Anbade Kazib, railway member of Sud-Rail and the NPA, hammers him by not skimping on an old school rhetoric: "It is when the working clbad will take the vanguard of this movement that the fachos who try to nucleate it will clear!" And he solemnly warns: "If we do nothing, the result in the polls will be the extreme right".

Later, at a small improvised press point, Ruffin will answer three questions and not one more. Time to remember that "What is playing is not only the price of gasoline but the blocking of the five-year Emmanuel Macron." The Amiens man has a few optimistic notes, even referring to a quote from Lenin: "The intermediate clbad does not turn more towards the more affluent; she is now reaching out for her from below. Something is happening. "
