A new mobilization against the pension reform project. While the text is presented this Wednesday, March 15 before the joint parliamentary commission, in Nîmes the unions are calling to pound the pavement.
4:16 p.m .: 15,000 demonstrators according to the CGT

3:48 p.m.: students mobilized
Ana, a psychology student in Nîmes, is part of the Sud student union. The latter has been mobilized since the beginning of the demonstrations. “I’m happy to know a movement that holds.” She says she has as much hope as during the first parade, on February 19, “maybe even more!”
3:30 p.m.: in small steps
While the head of the procession is at the top of Boulevard Gambetta, the tail is still on Boulevard Jean-Jaurès, at the intersection with Rue de Sauve
2:50 p.m…. false start
When we thought that the procession was going to start, it was a feint. It has not yet started from the Jardins de la Fontaine
2:30 p.m.: getting ready to leave… with optimism
While the text goes to the joint joint committee, Bruno Rivièr, general secretary of the CGT du Gard, remains hopeful: “We can only win.”
