France is preparing for a day of protests this Wednesday, September 10, following the dramatic fall of François Bayrou's government. Authorities anticipate up to 600 protests nationwide, led by the "Bloquons-Tout" collective in alliance with anti-government activists.
The Interior Ministry has mobilized 80,000 gendarmes and police officers to supervise this day of protests, which authorities describe as "high risk . " Intelligence agencies project the participation of up to 100,000 protesters across the country , a figure that could skyrocket thanks to the support of militant unions like the CGT and SUD.
The political storm unleashed on Monday, September 8, when Bayrou resoundingly lost the vote of no confidence by 364 votes to 194, has ignited social discontent. Emmanuel Macron promised to appoint a new prime minister "in the coming days," but social organizations are already taking advantage of the power vacuum to channel their outright rejection of the budget proposals.
Political crisis fuels citizen rebellion
Federico Tarragoni, professor of Political Sociology at the University of Caen, explains that the movement "has a digital and localized existence" with the strategy of creating shock waves through heterogeneous blockades.
According to "Bloquons-Tout ," the protests are multiplying by region, targeting major roads and key points. The protesters plan to suspend the use of bank cards to pressure financial institutions and to introduce "free tolls" on highways.
The movement is targeting production centers, supply centers, banks, schools, and hospitals. Authorities warn of possible "violent blockades and even sabotage" against critical infrastructure: refineries, fuel depots, and railway stations.
Zero tolerance operation
The Minister of the Interior has activated an inter-ministerial crisis unit and ordered the deployment of police forces starting Tuesday afternoon. "We will not tolerate excesses or blockades, especially of essential infrastructure ," declared Bruno Retailleau from Place Beauvau.
Security forces will occupy "sensitive areas" to prevent violence and sabotage. The minister promised "systematic interrogations" in the event of damage to public buildings, warning of "groups motivated by police hatred."
Although the Ministry of the Interior rules out a "large-scale movement ," it recognizes that certain mobilizations could generate "spectacular actions ." The decentralized structure seeks to demonstrate its ability to convene beyond the usual activist circles.
Government instability and budgetary criticism have created the perfect breeding ground for opposition convergence. September 10th is shaping up to be the definitive indicator of French social unrest, with repercussions that could shake European political balance in the midst of the continental economic crisis.

This is the important part. There are not enough cops to police all of us, so they bring reinforcements in from other cities. This means these cities are left without police. This is true not just in France.
If protests are spread out over all metropoles, they can easily shut the entire country down.
