November 14 demonstration in Paris: the route between Republic and Nation authorized, according to the organizers

The demonstration on Saturday between the Places de la République and de la Nation in Paris, declared by the coordination of the yellow vests and supported by other movements, notably youth organizations, was authorized by the police headquarters, the coordination announced.

“The prefecture gave its agreement on Thursday for this demonstration of convergence from Republic to Nation,” welcomed lawyer David Libeskind on behalf of the coordination. “We have succeeded in bringing together struggles and anger with the inter-union movement, the climate movement for justice and peace, the coalition of children's activists and the organization against the license to kill.”

This route, passing through the Place de la Bastille, had been submitted on Tuesday by the coordination of the yellow vests but other organizations had participated in the discussions at the prefecture, such as the Île-de-France branches of the CGT, the FSU and FO.

70,000 police and gendarmes should be mobilized on Saturday

The CGT also confirmed to AFP on Friday that the prefecture had not banned this demonstration. The children's collective had planned to demonstrate on Saturday "against violence against children and adolescents" and various human rights organizations to march against the proposed law on the presumption of legitimate use of weapons by the police, which is equivalent, according to them, to "a license to kill".

The movement which organized climate marches on September 26 had also marked this date for new demonstrations “for the present and the future of children”. These different slogans should therefore be expressed in a single demonstration in Paris on Saturday, alongside the demands of people mobilized every Saturday since October 17, in particular against “the high cost of living”.
