The questions of wages and purchasing power are at the heart of their demands. In front of a blocked Parisian high school on Tuesday November 3, the students were already preparing for this new day of mobilization. “The most important thing will be Thursday.

Thursday is a full strike, we must unite against the high cost of living,” says a young person. “We must mobilize, we must have a dark week to be heard as much as possible by the government. When all the people unite, the people are the strongest,” adds another.

The Paris route has not yet been validated. In total, 244 demonstrations are planned in France for Thursday November 5 according to the CGT. In Paris, the procession must connect Place de la Bastille to Place de la Concorde. But at this stage, the police headquarters has still not validated the route.

A situation denounced by Sophie Binet at the start of the week. “We are still waiting for the response from the Prefecture. I say it, it is not serious to work in these conditions.

We need to have the routes in advance to be able to secure them, particularly with Paris town hall. And therefore, the Prefecture must respond to us", regretted the general secretary of the CGT, interviewed in the "4V" Monday November 2. Transport is another point of vigilance.

The SNCF anticipates disruptions on most regional and Ile-de-France lines. TGVs should be less affected. All TGV and Intercités customers whose train is canceled will be able to benefit from a free exchange or refund of their tickets.
