(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #244 - Obituary, One of Us: Jean-Christophe Petit (fr, pt)

[machine translation]

Jean-Christophe Petit died. He was active for over twenty years in the libertarian 
communist current. ---- Jean-Christophe, he will, in all those who knew him, the image of 
a tall figure, slightly bent by the weight of battles and engagements. These had been many 
over the years - he had successively fought the LCR, AL, to the CNT, the NPA, the GA ... 
---- He signed his articles in Doinel Alternative libertarian . Among others, a great 
interview with Ren? Vautier , or a history of emancipated School , syndicalist tendency of 
Education, of which he was a member. ---- The late 1980s in Paris-I Tolbiac and the 
Sorbonne, had seen him take part in anti-fascist and trade unionists fighting alongside 
the homeless and undocumented. Always present in every demo, every action, serious 
struggles and still inflamed. These were years of good humor, laughter and sharing. We 
always played with him, even in the worst times. The premises of the UNEF Paris-I - that 
was before SOUTH students at the time of the Left Opposition in the Stalinist Unef - still 
rang with his great laugh.

In Rennes, where he lived in the years 1990-2000, there was an almost constant presence in 
the AG, on picket lines, in the community, bringing hope for a world free of its 
injustices, its crap . He had a heart of gold, always ready to serve others, not 
hesitating to yell with them when necessary.

He never regretted anything about his commitment, his actions, his life choices. He lived 
in background, day and night, sometimes a little too cramant life at both ends, but it was 
like that, with a vital energy he drew in his family, his two children he loved more than 
anything.

Cancer lightning won in 47 years. Hi friend, we'll miss you!
