From Lille to Marseille via Paris, opponents of pension reform came out again on Thursday. But participation dwindled after a spike caused by 49.3. This twelfth day of action, on the eve of the verdict of the Constitutional Council, attracted 380,000 people across France, according to the Ministry of the Interior, including 42,000 people in Paris.
The CGT has over 1.5 million members in France (after announcing over a million people, which would be the lowest participation level declared by a union since the start of the social movement), including 400,000 in the capital. “Despite the school holidays, around 280 demonstrations and gatherings are still organized across the country,” welcomes the CGT in a press release.
For the third week in a row, the number of demonstrators has dwindled with marches across France, where there were 570,000 demonstrators last week, according to the Ministry of the Interior. In the West, the stronghold of the protest, there were thus 10,000 in Nantes, according to the police, 25,000 according to the organizers, in both cases the lowest figure since March 11, the date of the weakest mobilization at the national level in our days. The same is true in Rennes, where 6,500 to 15,000 marched, in Rouen (4,500 to 9,000) and Le Havre (3,800 to 20,000), where calibers were rarely so low.
The trend is also confirmed in the centre, in Orléans (from 2,700 to 6,000) or Clermont-Ferrand (from 6,000 to 10,000) and in the south, from Bayonne (from 3,000 to 7,000) to Nice (from 2,700 to 15 000) via Montpellier (from 5,000 to 10,000). ). As is often the case with reflux, the discrepancies between scores are widening, in particular in Toulouse with a difference of one to eight (from 9,000 to 70,000) and even a record difference of one to twenty in Marseille (from 6,500). … and 130,000).
No “renunciation” of the movement, ensures the left
Left-wing politicians present this Thursday at the Paris march assured that the mobilization will not stop, no matter what the decision of the Constitutional Council on Friday is. The head of the deputies of the LFI, Mathilde Pano, felt that the institution “can make sure it comes out of this crisis by fully censoring the text.” And if she doesn’t censor everything, “then the president shouldn’t promulgate the law, otherwise he won’t be able to govern the country,” she calculated.
PS First Secretary Olivier Faure, for his part, considered that “we are at a dead end into which the government and the president have led us”, adding that “something is completely stuck in the French kingdom”, during a joint Nupes press briefing .
“Do not believe that because tomorrow there will be a decision of the Constitutional Council to be taken, there will be a kind of renunciation on our part,” he warned, a movement born before our eyes (…) to give it a political outlet.
