In France, Activists Prevented from Demonstrating by Anti-Terrorism Measures

On October 24, 2026, an environmental activist was visited by the police and ordered to report to the station under the pretext of a "threat from ultra-left terrorism." Starting October 31, the Ministry of the Interior resorted to house arrest and administrative control measures based on anti-terrorism provisions targeting activists, sometimes without criminal records. Around the demonstrations on October 31 and November 1, approximately 75 people were targeted by surveillance measures, with cases reported in Drôme, Belfort, Lot, Nord, Vienne, and Marseille; the administrative court of Poitiers lifted a ban. On November 4, CGT, UNEF, and the League of Human Rights filed an appeal, while unions and civil liberties defenders denounced an "authoritarian shift."

Centre
