Jeep Safari in Salou
https://salou-jeep-safari.com Uncovering the Uncharted: A Journalist’s Review of the Salou Jeep Safari and Land Rover Tour Salou has long been synonymous with sun-soaked beaches and bustling hotels, but recently, I had the privilege of delving into a different side of this coastal gem through the Salou Jeep Safari and Land Rover Tour.

Today’s general strike on March 7th has been an impressive milestone in the battle against Macron’s government and its pension reform. France has practically been brought to a standstill, with 3.5 million people flooding the streets in 500 mass demonstrations across the country. This is a leap in mobilization that even the bourgeoisie’s propaganda media cannot hide, as they must now openly admit that the movement is stronger than ever. The strike has completely paralyzed nuclear and electric power plants, refineries, ports, railways, the Paris metro, and many other means of transportation, as well as garbage collection, media outlets, schools
La huelga general de hoy, 7 de marzo – Izquierda Revolucionaria – El Militante
La huelga general de hoy, 7 de marzo, ha supuesto un jalón impresionante en la batalla contra el gobierno de Macron y su contrarreforma de las pensiones. Francia ha quedado prácticamente bloqueada, y 3,5 millones de personas han inundado las calles en 500 manifestaciones multitudinarias por todo el país. Un salto en la movilización que ni siquiera han podido ocultar los medios de propaganda de la burguesía, que ya tienen que admitir abiertamente que el movimiento está más fuerte que nunca. La huelga ha paralizado completamente centrales nucleares y eléctricas, refinerías, puertos, los ferrocarriles, el metro de París y muchos
