Around 15,000 people marched from Montparnasse in Paris on October 13 in what was the first mobilisation of workers against the cuts in social security spending announced by President Nicolas Sarkozy’s government.

The protest was called by the National Federation of Handicapped and Work Injury Victims (Fnath) and the National Association for the Defence of Asbestos Victims (ANDEVA). An additional 100,000 sufferers are expected to die in the next 20 years as a result of employer and government criminal negligence. It was also supported by the Communist Party-led CGT (General Confederation of Labour).

Workers are not the only French people fed up with Sarkozy. According to French media (who practice self censorship on this issue, as Sarkozy tries to silence them), Sarkozy’s wife Cecilia did not vote for him. And according to the Nouvel Observateur, Dutch NOS TV, etc., the couple are said to are already divorced.

UPDATE: divorce is official.
