Several processions will set off in the region on Tuesday as everywhere in France. Demonstrations at the call of the unions against the pension reform project. Here are the main meeting places.
New day of mobilization against pension reform. After the massive demonstrations of January 19, which brought together between 1.2 and 2 million people depending on the point of view of the police or the unions, a new day of strikes and demonstrations will take place tomorrow, Tuesday January 31.
Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne said this weekend on France Info that the postponement of the retirement age to 64 was no longer negotiable. Will this displayed firmness mobilize even more or discourage the demonstrators? Answer tomorrow, in the street, when the text arrives at the National Assembly. It is first of all the members of the social affairs commission who will work on this reform project.
In addition to the big Parisian demonstration scheduled for 2 p.m., Place d’Italie, many other processions are organized throughout the territory. In the former Poitou-Charentes region you will have the choice, with sometimes several events per department.
In Charente-Maritime, the demonstration in La Rochelle will start at 2:30 p.m. from the forecourt of the station.
In Saintes, the meeting is fixed in the morning at 10.30 am in front of the courthouse on the Cours Lemercier.
