The demonstrators, mainly Tunisians and Franco-Tunisians, as well as representatives of the parties of the French left, gathered in the Place de la République in the center of Paris. A group of young people were carrying coffins wrapped in Tunisian flags with banners, “Thanks to all our martyrs; we will never forget them.” “We made the revolution; everything has to change. We are not going to let them rob the people of this victory,” said Hedi, a 17 year old student. Najet Mizoni, a 59 year old law professor, said that she was “happy to be here, to participate in the first revolution in the Arab world.” There were also demonstrations in several cities in the French interior, like Lyon and Toulouse.

Neither Trump nor Biden Represent the Interests of the Striking Workers

Donald Trump skipped the second GOP debate to go to Michigan to speak on the UAW strike. This, one day after Biden became the first U.S. president to walk a picket line, represents the on-going fight between the parties to win influence over the working class.
