Two rural communities passed motions in support of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank calling for a ceasefire.
On Saturday June 1, it was Platform 44 of which AFPS 44 is a member with various political and trade union organizations which called for massive action. After several speeches, more than 2000 people marched for a long time in the streets of the Center of Nantes behind AFPS banners. This very lively demonstration crossed the pedestrian streets of the city center of Nantes and met passers-by who often encouraged the demonstrators.
A stop in front of the opera house was the occasion for a minute of silence and several speeches.
