500,000 protesters in France: another success for the social movement
Published
About 500,000 people marched across France during a new day of social mobilisation. According to the organisers, 200,000 protesters were in Paris. This figure is provided by the youth intersyndicale, which brings together the main high school and student unions.
Processions brought together young people and union representatives in many cities. The mobilisation was large, but some dispersals were difficult. Tensions were reported as the protesters went their separate ways, although the exact scale of these incidents has not been specified at this stage.
This mobilisation shows that the social movement remains active in France. The organisers consider the day a new success, as the number of participants was high in several regions. However, the figures are given by the organisers, and they may differ from estimates by the authorities.
For now, the next steps of the movement have not yet been announced. Readers can follow developments in the news media, as new actions could be organised in the coming weeks.
