French protests: Key dates for upcoming mobilizations

sudouest.fr (French) —

French social unrest continues with several upcoming protest dates. A "casserole" noise protest is planned for Friday, October 30, followed by a third major mobilization on Saturday, October 31, and a potential major strike on Thursday, November 5. The Friday evening protest, organized by the Gilets jaunes coordination, will gather outside the National Assembly in Paris at 6 PM before spreading nationwide at 7 PM. Organizers cite government restrictions on demonstrations and a recent racist attack as reasons for the action. Saturday's "Act III" includes nearly 400 actions and 39 marches, with sit-ins planned at town halls across France. Student groups may resume blockades on Monday, November 2, while unions, including CGT and CFDT, support the November 5 strike call. Pensioners and firefighters continue protests into December.
