In Paris, the route was filed on Tuesday by the Yellow Vests coordination. The Île-de-France branches of the CGT, the FSU and FO took part in the discussions at the prefecture.

This call, launched by these two poles, is meant to bring together several other collectives, each with its own demands.

The various watchwords are expected to be expressed there in a single demonstration.

"We have succeeded in achieving a convergence of struggles and anger with the inter-union alliance, the climate movement for justice and peace, the coalition of childists and the organization against the license to kill,"Libeskind said, according to details reported by the press.

The minister is also asking prefects to ensure application of the national framework for maintaining public order (SNMO), particularly regarding the place and protection of journalists, and the need for them to identify themselves to law enforcement during demonstrations.
