Anti-terrorism measures against activists ahead of October 31 demonstrations

On the occasion of the mobilizations of October 31 and November 1, 2026, the Interior Ministry stepped up individual administrative control and surveillance measures, targeting around 75 people.

The Poitiers Administrative Court lifted the ban targeting three environmental activists from the Vienne. On November 4, unions and civil liberties defenders denounced in Paris an authoritarian shift, while the CGT, the UNEF and the Human Rights League seized the courts over infringements on the right to demonstrate. On November 5, activists placed under house arrest on October 31 rejoined the march of a mobilization in Belfort.
