The Confédération française des travailleurs chrétiens does its shopping in a Muslim place

The Monplaisir open air market is a symbol of the miscegenation of Angers population. The passer-by of Angers stock as well as the pedlars mix with persons come from Northern as well as Eastern and Central Africa. Others are native of Eastern Europa or Asia. But people come from Arab speaking countries are, from far, the most numerous. Most of them live in Monplaisir district. 

A newcomer was highly visible on Sunday : the Confédération française des travailleurs chrétiens (Cftc) looking for supports for the next elections of employees representatives in the very small companies due to take place from November 28th to December 12th.. Because most of the onlookers walking throughout the open air market were Arab speaking persons, the Angers Cftc section had affixed in a stand enlived by blue flags declaration of faith written in Arabic next to others in French.

But most of the people walking throughout the Monplaisir open air market are also muslims. With that stand in the middle of that arabic and, from time to time, muslim atmosphere (some stalls next to the Cftc stand were also selling books about Islam or clothes symbolizing the Muslim religion as headscarfs), the Cftc illustrates that the difference of religion has not to prevent it from recruiting in members of muslim faith. The opposite is (maybe) possible but on that Sunday, the only list people had in mind was the shopping list!
