Nationwide Strikes - Paris

Philippe Martinez . Another day of protests two weeks after the massive rally on September 18, which, according to the CGT union, brought together “more than a million” people across France. The Ministry of the Interior had given figures that were half that number. This day of action follows what was considered a disappointing meeting between the inter-union group and Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu. The eight representative organizations are calling for higher pay and the creation of civil service positions, among other things. Paris, France on October 2, 2025.
