(Adnkronos) – Fewer adhesions are expected compared to previous ‘block’ days, for the second day of mobilization in France in response to the inter-union appeal against austerity measures and for greater fiscal justice. Including the day of action under the slogan “Let’s block everything” on September 10, launched on social media and supported by some unions, such as the CGT and Solidaires, this is the third day of social mobilization since the beginning of the school year.
On Tuesday, the CGT reported about 240 actions planned across France for tomorrow, with marches in many cities but also some gatherings from early morning at roundabouts or intersections. In Paris, the procession will move at 2 PM from Place d’Italie with an expected arrival at Place Vauban, near Les Invalides and not far from the National Assembly.
In Paris, 5,000 officers and soldiers will be mobilized to ensure a peaceful conduct of the procession. As with previous demonstrations, law enforcement will also monitor the procession through the use of drones. Finally, a significant security system has been put in place to protect 358 places of worship in the Paris area, as announced this morning by the capital’s prefect, Laurent Nunez.
