Nearly 380,000 protesters marched today in France for the 12th day of protest against her pension reform system, according to the Ministry of the Interior, “more than 1.5 million” for the CGT union, a mobilization in recession in most cities of the country. The protest is winding down for the third consecutive day of action, according to both authorities and unions, on the eve of the Constitutional Council’s long-awaited decision on the bill, which the government approved without a vote in the National Assembly.
The CGT union had initially announced “more than a million” participants, a figure that was reportedly the lowest it has recorded since the beginning of the protest movement in mid-January.
CGT general secretary Sophie Binet then reported a new estimate of the number of protesters, according to which “more than 1.5 million people” they demonstrated in the country.
The official figures (380,000 demonstrators) correspond to the second lowest participation since the beginning of the movement, after that of Saturday March 11 (368,000).
