In Memoriam: Hughes Léglise-Bataille
On June 24, 2009, a couple of hundred employees from the German tyre manufacturer Continental came to Paris once again. After the closure of their plant in Clairoix (Oise), the "Contis", as they are known, have become the symbol of the current economical crisis which is sweeping the country. By their mobilization, they have achieved a better compensation package but still couldn't prevent the closing of the company. That day, they were asking the new Justice Minister, Michèle Alliot-Marie, to forbid and release 7 of their colleagues who had been arrested after some vandalism at the "sous-préfecture" of Compiègnes on April 21.
