Map or species? Some restorers ask that their customers establish them in cash for all September, in support of the “Blocked All” movement of September 10. In return, some offer a small discount, and especially want to protest against bank charges related to the use of very small companies.
In the garden, Patrick Giménez, manager of the restaurant “La Cale à Beer”, offers its customers a 10% reduction in their addition if they choose to pay in cash. Interviewed by BFM2, he explains that his approach aims to “avoid bank costs.”
Through his initiative, the restaurant manager wishes to participate in the “block everything” movement of September 10, even if he will not close his establishment that day. The 10% discount offered for cash payment extends from September 1 to 20.
An especially symbolic gesture
This bank card strike was also transmitted on social networks. The limits do not call to consume, or at least not use your bank card on September 10. Others even encourage this strike through payment throughout the month of September.
At all times, this initiative alone is mostly symbolic, estimates that economist Philippe Crevel, director of the Savings Circle, interviewed by BFM2. According to him, only a massive withdrawal of his savings followed by millions of French could put the banks in an alert situation.
15 years ago, former soccer player Eric Cantona had launched a movement destined to make the “banks revolution”, encouraging as many people as possible to withdraw cash on the same day, on December 7, 2010. Very little often, this movement had aroused the debate, but did not have a significant impact on banks.
Strike, blockages and manifestations
The “Blocked All” movement of September 10, launched through social networks, joined the unions and promises a heterogeneous mobilization. In addition, the calls to the consumer strike and the bank card, the strikes, the demonstrations and the blockages were announced throughout the country.
In île-de-France, the Ratp, the AP-HP, the pharmacies, the pharmacies, the garbage collectors and the public service have presented several strike warnings. In Lyon, a “Bye Bye Bayrou” saucepan was announced, in Nantes and Rennes, the union of solids promised road blockages, and in Lille, a “barbecue” is planned for the “initial pot” by François Bayrou.
