Georges Séguy

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mainly refers to Georges Séguy as general secretary of the CGT in May 681. He counts him among the working-class figures of 68 who are forgotten today2. He links his name to the Grenelle agreements and takes one specific result from them: these agreements doubled the minimum wage (SMIC)3. In the series "Bien- et Méfaits de l'amnésie", he goes back over his life: deported to Mauthausen at fifteen, he was campaigning against fascism by twenty-five4. He also places him in the history of the CGT leadership, as Krasucki's predecessor5. He makes this connection again when presenting his website6. These mentions are brief and scattered between 2012 and 2023. They do not deal with any writings or doctrine. They place Séguy within a memory of the labour movement and of the fight against fascism that Dominique Pagani sees as at risk of being forgotten.
