There are those who do online concerts, others aperitifs. Politically speaking, this will be the online demonstration. France rebellious launched a call on social networks for this Saturday, calling on people to “demonstrate on the Internet to propose solutions, so that a crisis like the one we are going through with the coronavirus will never happen again”.
Since the beginning of the epidemic of coronavirus, the party regularly went up to the niche, on TV platforms but also on social networks. Its leader,
Jean-Luc Mélechon, strongly criticized the warrior vocabulary used by Emmanuel Macron to describe the fight against the pandemic. “It is intended to suggest a heroic role for the head of state. It also has the function of forcing “silence in the ranks”, he denounced a few days ago.

This Saturday, activists from La France insoumise are therefore invited to tweet, post on Facebook and all social networks their ideas on deconfinement, and its organization now. With the keyword “Never again”.
But also the question of public services, in particular health, which have been very active since the start of the crisis and for which the party is asking for resources.
Despite the question of @JLMelenchon, the Prime Minister does not answer on the nationalization of #Luxfer. We must therefore increase citizen mobilization. Sign the petition! https://t.co/nA3o8XCfw0

A collective breaking with “liberal disorder”
Not to mention the nationalization of Luxfer, which produces oxygen cylinders, or the Famar plant in Lyon, which produces a chloroquine antimalarial and is in receivership.
“Never again” is also the watchword of 18 leaders of trade union, association and environmental organizations who have launched an appeal. Philippe Martinez of the CGT or Jean-François Julliard of Greenpeace signed a joint tribune published on March 27, on Franceinfo, in which they launch an appeal “to all progressive and humanist forces to rebuild together a future, ecological, feminist and social, breaking with the policies carried out until then and the liberal disorder”.
