Mobilization of November 7: 46,000 people marched in Paris according to the prefecture, 75,000 according to the youth inter-union

Processions paraded on Saturday, November 7, for the fourth consecutive weekend. The Parisian demonstration, which started from Place de la République to join Nation, brought together 46,000 people, according to the police headquarters. The youth inter-union rather cites 75,000 people in the capital and 250,000 throughout the country. The mobilization is in "clear decline" throughout the territory, according to a situation update carried out at the beginning of the afternoon by the entourage of the Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nuñez. “At 2 p.m. [before the Parisian demonstration], 7,000 people participated in 68 actions, compared to 15,000 participants in 65 actions on Saturday October 31,” according to the same source. These new demonstrations aim to maintain pressure, two days before a social conference with unions and employers, convened Monday morning in Matignon, as well as meetings with high school and student organizations in the afternoon.

• In Paris, two demonstrations, one of which was not authorized by the prefecture. In the capital, the youth inter-union (Student Union, Fage, Unef and USL) and regional unions (CGT, FO, FSU, Solidaires, CFDT) called for demonstrations "against the high cost of living and for young people" in an authorized procession, on the same route as Thursday, linking the Place de la République to that of the Nation. The coordination of the yellow vests had decided to go it alone, clearly marking its distance from the unions. She called for a separate gathering, banned by the authorities, at Place de la Concorde. Elsewhere in the territory, the yellow vests planned some 120 actions.
