Demonstration “against the Macron-Barnier government” in Paris

In the capital, the meeting is scheduled for Place de la Bastille at 2 p.m. The demonstrators will then take the classic route to reach Place de la Nation.

Several thousand people demonstrated from Paris to Marseille, via Bordeaux, on Saturday, September 21, to denounce the appointment of the new Prime Minister, at the call of France Insoumise, environmentalists and feminist, student and environmental associations.

While the call to demonstrate covered several dozen cities throughout France, the authorities expected to see 20,000 to 40,000 people march in the capital to denounce “a denial of democracy” after “stolen” elections. But this second day of protest since the start of the school year, after that of September 7 which saw 26,000 demonstrators march according to the Ministry of the Interior (160,000 according to the rebels) is not full, far from it. If the indignation is widely shared, the ranks are quite thin.

While the final composition of Michel Barnier’s government was to be announced in the evening, several young people in the procession say they are disgusted by the appointment of ministers “who are against marriage for all, who are racist or who are accused of embezzlement”.

“Everyone has understood that France has a problem at the moment, and that his name is Emmanuel Macron, harangues the rebel MP Mathilde Panot into the microphone, standing on a float. He shames us internationally – he is also the first president of the Fifth Republic to have impeachment proceedings against him.” Part of the assembly applauds him.

Before handing over to the environmentalists and then to her colleague Louis Boyard, the president of the LFI group in the National Assembly, her chest girded with the tricolor sash, took the opportunity to salute “the Martinican people in revolt against the high cost of living”, before expressing her full support for Gisèle Pelicot “so that the shame changes sides”.

But these calls to demonstrate were poorly followed. There were 3,200 people marching in Paris, according to the police headquarters, compared to 26,000 on September 7, according to the same source. Elsewhere in France, there were only 2,200 demonstrators in Marseille, 400 in Bordeaux, some 200 in Angoulême and Nantes, and a hundred in Strasbourg. LFI aimed to “increase popular pressure” after the day of September 7, which brought together between 110,000 left-wing demonstrators throughout France, according to the authorities, and 300,000, according to the organizers.
