Nothing goes with “Bordeaux in struggles” (beautiful). Founded in 2020, the Bordelais collective had dropped out, during the municipal elections of 2020, three positions within the opposition to the new ecologist town hall directed by Pierre Hurmic. Its three members – Philippe Poutou, the new anticapitalist party (NPA), again candidate for the presidential elevator, Evelyne Cervantes-Descubes, ancient of France unsuitable (LFI), and the “yellow vest” Antoine Boudinet – from century since in the Municipal hemicycle. But in December, Antoine Boudinet has resigned. The elected, who had a hand torn off during a manifestation of “yellow vests” in Bordeaux, in December 2018, had committed in politics in order to “denounce police violence”. A vow undertaken by a dissension within “burgundy”.

In question, the “plasterization” felt by Myriam Eckert, fourth on the municipal list of Bel and became a collaborator of the group at the town hall. Myriam Eckert asserts that “during the truce of confectioners, Evelyne Cervantes-Descubes and Philippe Poutou left the collective” Bordeaux in struggles “instead of coming to answer before our collective on this supposed case of plasterization”. For Myriam Eckert, it’s worth abandonment: “We got three seats that belong to the collective. From the moment you leave it, you must in my opinion make your seats.”

“Difficult moments “

Philippe Poutou denies with the world: “Evelyne and I remain elected by Bel, just as the team working with us for eighteen months in municipal and metropolitan councils. We will continue our job d opposition from left. And Myriam, new elected bel so. Except that the misunderstanding and animosity are such that we will operate separately. “The leader of the NPA justifies” no longer want to work with Myriam to the municipal council because it is aggressive and insulting “but” we did not want to ask the town hall to break the contract because it was the salary of 1,200 euros from Myriam and that there was no question of putting it in financial difficulty “.

By “plasterization”, Myriam Eckert denounces his voluntary bet on the part of Philippe Poutou and Evelyne Cervantes-Descubes. “Cutting an employee consists of putting away a collaborator of the life of the company or his administration by removing any responsibility. He remains employed and paid, but no longer exercises the functions for which he was recruited. The employer hopes, through this implementation, to avoid resorting to dismissal, “she says in a statement. In addition, the activist believes, from the world, that since Philippe Poutou is candidate for the presidential election, he has moved away “struggles and overall general meetings who are for us decision-making of our collective, where he did not come” .
