That's why 80,000 policemen and gendarmes will be todayreminiscent ofthe 2018 "yellow vests" rebellion with orders to stand firm in front of activists from the movement that has .
It appears that 100,000 people in France will participate in various activities, mostly young and left-wing ideology.
The demands include environmentalists (the fight against mega-dams, pesticides in agriculture...), the fight for gender equality and against racial discrimination, retirement at age 60 and rent price control.
Activists have also called for the resignation of Macron, who has been accused of further enrichment to the detriment of the popular classes.
The day of protest coincides with the first working day of Defence Minister Lecornu as Prime Minister, following the fall of Chief Executive François Bayrou in the National Assembly earlier this week.
As' Let's Block Everything 'is unpredictable, the authorities have had trouble calibrating what might happen.
In Paris, one of the epicentres of the protests, public transport operators foresee a limited impact: commuter lines will be the most affected, while subway, bus and tram lines will be almost normal.
The Directorate-General for Civil Aviation (DGAC) has urged companies operating at airports in Nice and Corsica to reduce their flights by 50% on Wednesday from 18:00 to 24:00.
The day of the 'Block Everything' mobilisation will take place after another nine days of protests across France, called by trade unions and supported by left-wing parties.
