After having gathered at least one million protesters on Thursday, March 23, the inter-union against the pension reform hopes to do so this Tuesday, while the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron remains inflexible and says he is waiting for the decision of the Constitutional . Council.
For this 10th day of mobilization against the government projectIt is expected that between 650,000 and 900,000 protesters will march through the streets on Tuesday, including between 70,000 and 100,000 people in Paris, provides the information in a note consulted by BFMTV.
Compiling the information publicly broadcast by the CFDT and those featured in the local media, BFMTV.com was able to count 238 planned demonstrations against the pension reform, in all regions of metropolitan France.
• Information is afraid of overflowing
According to the information, the youth should be massively present in the ranks of the demonstrators. Especially because of the outbursts of the past week and police brutality charges apart from the demonstrations. If there were around 30,000 young people on the streets on March 23, their presence on Tuesday should double or even triple, authorities predict.
Intelligence especially fears overflows due to a “radicalization” of certain trade unionists with the key to new overflows and violent actions “in some fifty cities.”
In Paris, where thousands of people will run from the Place de la République to the Place de la Nation, 5,500 police officers will be mobilized, Gérald Darmanin announced Monday. A total of 13,000 police officers will be on the ground across the country.
Even before the classic demonstrations (in the morning or in the afternoon, depending on the city), “punch” actions will be organized in many locations, especially in the West.
In Normandy and Brittany, the opponents of the pension reform should organize a big operation “dead cities” starting at 6 am Rennes, Nantes, Saint-Nazaire, Brest, Caen, Lorient, Vannes or even Saint-Brieuc should be worried.
Snail operations and other roadblocks due to the mobilization of numerous road transport union federations are also to be expected.
• Strike in many sectors
In transport, traffic will continue to be severely disrupted on the SNCF. Only half of the TERs will circulate compared to a quarter of the Intercités during the day, the night ones being stopped. Three of the five TGV Inoui and Ouigo will operate while Eurostar and Thalys traffic will be almost normal.
Mobilized for some time, the national federation of Ports and Docks CGT has called on port workers and stevedores to participate in a 24-hour strike.
30% of primary school teachers will be on strike on Tuesday for the new day of inter-union mobilization against the pension reform, the Snuipp-FSU, the leading union in infant and primary schools, predicted on Monday.
The strike of the garbage collectors also continues this Tuesday. In a press release published late Monday, the city of Paris reported some 7,300 tons of uncollected waste on the streets of the capital, up from 8,000 on Sunday and 10,500 on Friday.
