Fabien Villedieu, federal secretary of Sud-Rail, criticizes claims that a strike by French railway workers during Christmas is imminent, stating the likelihood is less than 1%. He argues that the focus should be on opposing the privatization of SNCF rather than inciting fear among the public. With an unlimited strike planned from December 11, Villedieu emphasizes the importance of finding solutions within the next few weeks. The first strike would occur on November 21, with initial feedback being positive but too early to predict its scale.
