Labour Day In Toulouse

People hold a banner reading 'No to the Hercule project: energy is a common good'. Macron wants to split EDF in two entities with the Hercule project: the nuclear part of EDF will stay public and the money-making part (renewable energy) will be offered in an IPO. Thousands of people took to the streets for Labour Day in Toulouse. This year, the motto was about culture and the reform of unemployment benefits. Artists made several stops to dance and to sing during the march. One of the stops took place in front of the occupied National Theater of Toulouse ('TheatreDeLaCite') where they performed 'We want to go on dancing' by Alexis HK. Toulouse, France on May 1st 2021.
