Like many on the left, 60-year-old nursing assistant Isabelle-Touria Boumhi says backing either Emmanuel Macron or Marine Le Pen in France's presidential runoff last Sunday (April 24) would have been choosing "between the plague and cholera," reports Yahoo! News.
In the end, she didn't vote.
But instead, she is preparing to take part in May Day protests on Sunday May 1.
"I will continue the fight and take to the streets until I stop working."
"It's the only way. Because the struggle is the only path we have left to obtain something."
This opinion foreshadows what a newly re-elected Macron may expect when he presses ahead with pro-business reforms, including a plan to push back retirement age.
Boumhi says she will take to the streets as often as needed to block this.
