With around a hundred demonstrations planned throughout France on September 7, part of the left, led by La France Insoumise, has chosen the streets as a warm-up for a political autumn that promises to be hot.
« Denial of democracy », « The French didn’t vote for this », « that he [Macron] resign »: in the processions that took to the streets on September 7, the same words, often, to express the indignation, the resentment and the anger in the face of the nomination of the LR Michel Barnier as Prime Minister, a post that Emmanuel Macron refused to Lucie Castets, the candidate of the New Popular Front (NFP), who came out on top in the early legislative elections in July.
The Paris demonstration began around 2:30 p.m. at Place de la Bastille. The anger expressed was initially directed against Emmanuel Macron and his ” democratic coup “, in the words of the initiators of the march, furious at not seeing Lucie Castets, candidate of a united left with 193 deputies, appointed to Matignon.
