France's hardline CGT union has threatened to cut off electricity supplies to lawmakers and billionaires before a nationwide strike on Thursday, in an increasingly acrimonious showdown over the government's plan to raise the retirement age.
I'll let you imagine how this idea is being described in the public media here in :france-cool: ; "terrorism" and "hostage takers" are terms that are genuinely being employed daily.
I should add this is no empty threat: on top of cutting power to large swathes of (non critical / non health related and the like) the energy network during strikes in the past, unions (mostly the CGT and Force Ouvriere) have selectively cut off power to local offices of congressmen from Macron's party in the past.
This is a really cool idea, I've never considered that this is a possibility

Always good to remember that the oppressors have names and addresses.
