Yellow vest protesters plan Toulouse gathering despite no official declaration

Yellow vest protesters plan a gathering in Toulouse on Saturday, November 7, but authorities report no official demonstration has been declared. The prefecture has banned unauthorized gatherings in the city center from 7 a.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday. The event marks the fourth act of the movement, following Thursday's national strike that drew between 21,800 and 80,000 protesters in Toulouse. Youth organizations and unions will join, with a gathering scheduled at Jean-Jaurès at 2 p.m. Transit disruptions are expected on several bus lines. The CGT union criticized the prefect's decision, accusing the government of deliberately creating chaos. The prefecture cited fears of unrest similar to previous weekends, while 114 actions were listed nationwide as of Friday evening.
