Mobilisations on 31 October: Paris refuses the inter‑syndical route

On 28 October, Solidaires 21 in Dijon and the Besançon inter‑syndical called for demonstrations on 31 October, while high school students, university students and teachers were also urged to take part. The same day, a defence council met to prepare security arrangements, yellow‑vest gathering maps were published and the CGT announced a Bastille‑Nation route in Paris. The Paris police prefecture refused this Paris route, the Seine‑Maritime prefecture banned gatherings in the city centres of Rouen and Le Havre, and the Sainté Trail Urbain cancelled races in Saint‑Étienne. On 29 October, the prefecture approved the demonstration route in Lyon but again refused the one filed in Paris. Government spokesperson Maud Bregeon said that all means and law‑enforcement forces were deployed.
