The rebellious deputy of Val-de-Marne Louis Boyard launched this Sunday a “BlocusChallenge” on social networks, calling on students and high school students to post their “pretty pictures” blockades of establishments, on March 7, during the new day of mobilization against the pension reform.
“It is expected that all high schools and all universities will be blocked (…) That is why on lance the hashtag #BlocusChallenge: post your best pictures of high school and university blockades”, indicates, in a video posted on Twitter, the deputy of Val-de-Marne.
A photo will be drawn. “The team of blockers will be invited to visit the National Assembly with us”, adds the youngest of the National Assembly, aged 22.

The initiative is not to the liking of the President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet who reacted quickly, also on Twitter, recalling that the Bourbon Palace “is not a competition prize” and that the “politics is not a TikTok challenge.”
In Val-de-Marne, MP Modem Maud Petit asked what was next for the program. “SaboteLAssemblee” ?! “This is why you will never be responsible for this country: You have not understood that a State cannot be governed by anarchy!” believes the chosen one.
By Sunday evening, Louis Boyard’s video had been viewed more than five million times on Twitter.
The deputy of Val-de-Marne is not the only rebel to call for the blocking of high schools and universities against the pension reform.
“Block everything you can” from March 7, urged Jean-Luc Mélenchon on Friday evening in front of students in Paris.
