Since the announcement of the plan of 44 billion euros in savings from François Bayrou and especially his symbolic proposal to suppress two holidays, a blog “Mobilization10 sepep September has been launched to encourage in particular collective actions of boycott and civil disobedience at the start of the school year.
This call against a “General fed up”does not come from a party or a clearly identified organizer and officially presents itself as apolitical and asyndical. A channel on Telegram messaging has been opened to decide the form that the mobilization will have to take, but some groups are also trying to meet physically. Franceinfo attended a meeting in Paris on Monday July 28 on Monday, July 28 in the Buttes-Chaumont park.
About fifty people sit in circles on the lawn. There are young people with keffiehs, some pensioners and some have sunglasses to pass incognito. “Does antigurre do it is consensus? Antigurre? We are ok on that almost ?,” Questions one of the participants in the cantonnade. All are registered on a Telegram group to answer the call on September 10, but it is the first time they have seen each other.
During this meeting, we meet militants of rebellious France or “yellow vests”, like this graying great man who gives the watchword: “Against the Bayrou austerity plan!“. “The people who are there can say that that’s what makes us angry, others will bring something else”, he explains.
“This is what happened with the ‘yellow vests’. They left on an oil problem, being able to fill his reservoir to take his children to school. And then very quickly, everyone arrived with his problems and we realized that we had roughly the same.”

Some in the group offer “Pullify the metro alarm signal at the same time in all of Paris“, next September 10. Others mention the blocking of arms factories.
At the exit, a young man goes back to his corner, disappointed. “I see that these are many people who push the ideas of anti -racism, feminism, anti -fascism. I find that it is very useless, we are there to fight Bayrou. I am on the right, I do not hide it. We are gone from a movement that is political antipart … and we discover that they are, in reality, very left”, he confides. The group has planned to come together again at the end of August, but it will not come back.
