(en) France, Monde Libertaire - A few notes on September 10th in Paris (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Sat, 11 Oct 2025 10:12:37 +0300


The experiences of this "Block Everything" day are undoubtedly as numerous as the locations and actions attempted. Around the capital, early in the morning, there were attempts to block the ring road and its access points, but the forces of disorder keep watch over these vast spaces. But of course, this was also happening outside Paris, in all the departments of the inner and outer belt, where people are tightening their belts. At the initiative of two comrades, Radio Libertaire opened its airwaves to broadcast live testimonies. We were thus able to hear news from Rennes, Essonne, Boulogne... And receive messages of encouragement from those who could not participate, but were happy to be informed. An experience to be repeated.

In Paris, planned and spontaneous gatherings took place throughout the capital. Quite quickly, repression was organized to surround the gathering places. Without much ado, wild processions left the square to head for a more welcoming location.

The idea of blocking the economy through non-consumption seemed rather distant. Occupying the street, listening to music, sitting on the ground in the middle of the boulevard, like in Souchon's song...

A small selection of messages and signs encountered while wandering:

1 p.m. Place de la République - A few thousand very young people:
- "Those who refuse to face reality simply call for their own destruction - James Baldwin"
- "The measure of love is to love without measure"
- "Tax the rich"
- "For the isolated, abandoned, martyred, oppressed... We don't want it anymore"
- "Sex is cool, but have you ever fucked the System?"
- "Free, free Palestine"

2:30 p.m. Place du Châtelet - 10,000 people around the square. Still very young, high school and university students.
- "Money for civil servants, not for shareholders, nor for war"
- "For a free public university open to all, against selection and precariousness"
- "Tax the rich, track the cops"
- "Bye-bye Bayrou, don't forget Bétharam"

4:00 p.m. Place des Fêtes in the 20th arrondissement. The best part was there, in what remains one of the very last authentically working-class neighborhoods in Paris. More than 10,000 people.

Festive and lively music. The speeches were lost in the hubbub of a very young, diverse, and joyful crowd, undoubtedly more politicized. The crowd sang "Free, free Palestine" in unison. Alas, the rain had arrived.
