CGT

French unions, led by the CGT, are organising a strike and demonstrations on September 29, with protest routes and times now published for cities across the country. People are checking local gathering points and schedules as the mobilisation date approaches, and the event is drawing broad attention ahead of the day of action.

Ajaccio is in the spotlight as the Corsican capital is listed among the locations for nationwide demonstrations planned for 29 September, according to the CGT union. The union has published a list of protest venues and times across France, and people in Ajaccio are checking where and when the local gathering will take place.

Around 300,000 people demonstrated across France on 29 September, according to the CGT union, in a nationwide strike demanding more resources for the public sector. The strikes and marches drew significant attention in Épinal and other towns, with unions pressing the government to invest in schools, hospitals and public services. The figure comes from union estimates and has not been independently confirmed.
