In Amiens another left is in order of battle. François Ruffin, founder and editor of the Amiens newspaper Fakir and director of the film "Merci patron", calls to stop voting PS. He wants to recall what the PS of Léon Blum was, what he brought to the French and the way he is misguided today. According to him, the current PS does not worthily commemorate the 80 years of the Popular Front, by passing the law "Work". He does not rule out the idea of a revocable mandate, and does not want to be condemned to always choose "the least worse" by voting.
François Ruffin, deputy of the "France insoumise", was elected in the 1st constituency of the Somme. It intends to continue mobilizing on the ground, and not only in the corridors of the National Assembly. He says: "To shake the Government, it happens on the street".
The National Assembly rejected two motions of censure, including one tabled by the LIOT transpartisan group to challenge the pension reform carried by the Borne Government. It was not adopted with nine votes. Several elected representatives from Picardy voted in favour of this motion, including François Ruffin, who declared: "The man of chaos, he is at the Elysée; the ball is in the court of the President of the Republic".
CEO Bernard Arnault, 1st fortune in France and big boss of the luxury industry, is in the line of fire of the director François Ruffin in his film "Merci Patron". The latter signs a film resolutely committed to the little ones facing the big ones of this world. A film that revives the class struggle, confronting the millionaire and the Klur family, plunged into great social fragility. Francois Ruffin says about Bernard Arnault: "His brain is a calculating machine that wonders how he will make profit, profits... It is important to identify with heroes and anti-heroes".
The Wihirlpool plant in Amiens and its employees are at the heart of political attention. And the day after the Prime Minister’s visit and the announcement of a €220 million plan for the revitalization of the city, a director comes to talk to the Whirlpools. François Ruffin, candidate for the legislative elections, comes to present his film Merci Patron!". For him, the fact of seeing his film can "give them relief, the conviction that if we fight, we can win something".
François Ruffin is editor of the fanzine "Fakir" in Amiens. With his two comrades, they write a different newspaper with an incisive style and define themselves as "activists" concerned about people’s daily lives. For François Ruffin the news represents "only the sound of waves on the surface". What interests him is "the movement of tectonic plates ... what we do not see, what does not make an event in the media".
