This Thursday marks the fifth day of mobilization against the pension reform. In Paris, the demonstration will start at 14 p.m. at Place de la Bastille and head to Place d'Italie. The previous demonstration had gathered, Tuesday, February 7, between 87,000 and 500,000 people, and the mobilization does not seem to weaken. The unions are now threatening a renewable strike and a "blockade" of the country.

Driving bans

The Parisian demonstrators will take the boulevard Henri-IV and cross the Seine via the Pont de Sully, before joining the boulevard de l'Hôpital via the quays Saint-Bernard. An alternative route could be set up via Rue de Lyon and Boulevard Vincent-Auriol, via the Charles-de-Gaulle Bridge and Avenue Pierre-Mendès-France.

Schools: two out of three areas on holiday

Students in zone C (Paris, Créteil, Montpellier, Toulouse, Versailles) and Corsica could be affected by class or school closures during the strike. But, to date, no strike call has been made by the teachers' unions. Students in Zone A and Zone B are on holiday.

Stopping the France

Philippe Martinez, General Secretary of the CGT on BFMTV, called for "harder, more numerous, more massive strikes, and renewable". A new day of mobilization has already been announced on March 7, 2023. The inter-union said it was ready to "put the France to a standstill".
