On Sunday June 23, demonstrations took place across France at the call of feminist associations, NGOs and unions.
In Paris, Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine), Nantes (Loire-Atlantique) and even Lille (North), thousands of demonstrators marched against the National Rally on Sunday June 23. They responded to the call of some 200 feminist associations faced with the danger for women’s rights that, according to them, a victory of the far right in the legislative elections could represent. “The feminist fight is never won and is called into question today”says a protester.
Earlier in the week, Jordan Bardella addressed French women in a video on X, in which he claims to be committed to their rights. The message angered feminist circles. “These are 30 RN deputies who refused to vote for the entry of the right to abortion into the French Constitution”, recalled Sophie Binet, general secretary of the CGT. The National Rally gained more than ten points in the female electorate between the 2019 and 2024 European elections.
