The potential presence of opponents of the pension reform during the May 8 celebrations worries the government. Security will be reinforced in particular on the Champs-Élysées.
It has now become a habit during a trip by the President of the Republic and his ministers: a concert of saucepans as a guide to the welcome committee. The CGT du Rhône again wanted to disrupt Emmanuel Macron’s trip, scheduled for Monday, May 8, in Lyon, during a tribute to Jean Moulin. But the demonstration was banned by the Rhône prefecture. The union has announced that it will file an appeal.
“A moment of national unity”
A demonstration on the day of commemorations of May 8, 1945 is inconceivable for the government. “It’s a moment of national unity”, said Bruno Le Maire, Minister of the Economy, on Sunday May 7 on BFMTV. Remarks supported by the right and the extreme right. Security will also be reinforced on the Champs-Élysées, on the morning of Monday May 8. Demonstrations and protest rallies have been banned in a wide area.
