‘Block everything’: What we know about the movement to shut down #France on September 10 https://www.france24.com/en/france/20250903-block-everything-what-we-know-about-the-movement-to-shut-down-france-on-september-10 > A grassroots protest movement that began on social media is gathering steam with its rallying cry to "Block everything" ("Bloquons tout”) in France on September 10. Online support for the idea of a September 10 protest surged after Bayrou’s budget announcement in July, with figures on extreme right quick to align themselves with the burgeoning movement. > Since then, the movement has garnered widespread support from left-wing parties, spearheaded by the firebrand leader of the France Unbowed party, Jean-Luc Mélenchon. > Most major union chiefs have so far refused to align themselves with Block everything, despite sharing many of their political concerns. Only the hard-left CGT union has said it will support Block everything by organising strikes on September 10.
