“This is not admissible”. The regional unions CGT, FO, FSU, Solidaires and Unef in Ile-de-France denounced, Friday, October 1, “a new obstacle to the right to demonstrate” after the rejection by the Paris police headquarters of the route proposed in the capital for the parade on October 5. That day, an inter-union called for a day of demonstration and strike in defense of wages and jobs and against pension and unemployment insurance reforms.

“The prefecture has just refused the route initially proposed, filed ten days ago, which went from the Place de la République to the Place de la Concorde, accuse the regional unions. The reason given, the proximity of ministries and Place Vendôme, is not acceptable. We have been on this route before and without any problems. “

“These are indeed political choices with the desire to move union processions away from places of power.”

In response, the Paris police headquarters argued that “the proposed routes pose safety difficulties, particularly on the part between Opéra and Concorde, and lead the police headquarters to recommend changes to the routes”. According to her, “Discussions are taking place with the organizers and are ongoing.”
