These articles are interesting because nothing has been said in the Mainstream Media (MSM)about the Muslims connection: It would appear the French people feel the new law will be used to hire Muslim immigrants instead of Frenchmen.Another interest fact not reported by the MSM -- It would appear that French & Muslim demonstrators clashed in Lyons.
Much is being written in the French press about the CPE - First Job Contract (the letters stand for "contrat première embauche"). This is Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin's plan for giving jobs to the immigrants of the suburban ghettoes. According to the plan an employer may fire a worker within two years after hiring him. But the main objection to the plan is that it favors immigrants over lower-class ethnic Frenchmen. It is,in fact, a thinly disguised guarantee of employment for the immigrants (and children thereof) and a betrayal of young French people without a university education who will be in need of employment after high school. The anti-CPE demonstrations (see my earlier post below entitled "Possible Violence Tomorrow") have been going on for several days throughout France. But as with most French protests, this one, too, has been seized by the left-wing groups and exploited for their own purposes. So the legitimate protesters, i.e., the French who need jobs, are eclipsed in numbers and violent acts by the left-plus-Muslim contingency. If you go to voxgalliae, and scroll down to the title "Casseurs anti-CPE en action", then click the horizontal bar, you will see a video of the violence in the Sèvres-Babylone section of Paris. The following excerpts come from Via-Resistancia, a google group.
Confrontations in the streets of Lyons pitted Turkish demonstrators against hundreds of young anti-CPE activists among whom were members of the Armenian community.
The Turks, who numbered 2,500, from the districts of the Rhône-Alpes according to the police, were there to voice their oppostion to the construction of an Armenian memorial in downtown Lyons.
Brandishing a sea of Turkish flags and signs reading "There was no Armenian genocide" and
"No memorial to a false genocide", they clashed with those present at the end of the anti-CPE rally, also downtown, near Place Bellecour.
"Fascists", "negationists", "go home", hurled back the anti-CPE demonstrators, who included a number of Armenians.
The presence of security forces and the cordoning off by the police did not prevent confrontations between the two groups who engaged in fist-fights and the use of various projectiles. They only dispersed after being doused with water by the police.
