France is on strike: this Tuesday, October 1, 2024, a nationwide protest movement is disrupting services in several major areas. The CGT, Solidaires and FSU are calling on the French people to mobilize, to demand the repeal of pension reform, improved public services and higher wages. National education, childcare and transport services are particularly affected by the strike.
These protests are accompanied by demonstrations: some 200 gatherings are counted on the CGT website, this Monday, September 30, 2024. In Paris, a demonstration is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. on October 1 from Place Denfert-Rochereau to Place de la Bastille.
The demonstration is scheduled to take place just as Michel Barnier, France's new Prime Minister, is due to present his general policy speech to the National Assembly. An important moment that could greatly influence France's next political and social months.
For the unions, the October 1 strike is also a response to the results of the recent legislative elections, which divided France this summer. The Solidaires union told France Info that it had joined the social movements in " concrete reaction to the election results. "
