MAP. Strike on April 6: how many protesters are there in your city?

For this 11th day of mobilization against the pension reform, the participation figures are closely scrutinized, while the number of strikers seems to be weakening.

On Tuesday March 28, 740,000 protesters marched in France to demonstrate their opposition to the pension reform, more than 2 million according to the unions. Nine days later, this Thursday, April 6, marks 11 days of mobilization against the reform that the government of Emmanuel Macron wants.

Mobilization figures across France are being closely watched, while the number of strikers, particularly in the transport sector, is falling. In the RATP, almost all the metro lines are operating normally, contrary to what was observed at the beginning of the protest movement at the beginning of the year.

11,500 police officers mobilized

Territorial intelligence has identified 370 actions announced in France this Thursday, with between 600,000 and 800,000 protesters expected across France, 60,000 to 90,000 in Paris. Figures that seem in line with what was measured by the Ministry of the Interior on March 28.

Although many confrontations and degradations have marked the previous days of mobilization, the Ministry of the Interior for its part announced the mobilization of 11,500 police officers throughout the country, including 4,200 in Paris.

Given the inflexibility of the executive, the reform followed its legislative path. Both the Government and the opponents are awaiting the decision of the Constitutional Council, which must issue its opinion on the text on April 14. On Wednesday, a meeting organized in Matignon between Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and the inter-union ended in failure.
