National mobilization on November 7, 2026 against the high cost of living

After the strike of November 5, new calls to demonstrate are launched for November 7 in Grenoble, Chambéry, Annecy, Nancy, Paris, Orléans, Tours, Bourges and in Occitania, notably for a fourth consecutive Saturday of mobilization against the high cost of living. Prefectures announce reinforced security measures, while 70,000 police officers and gendarmes are mobilized across the territory and gatherings are authorized or banned depending on the city. The demonstration of November 5 in Lille resulted in 42 police custodies, of which 36 people were released, and in Albi participants claim to have been targeted by a tear gas device, with complaints filed. On the eve of November 7, political leaders criticize the government's anticipation or announcements, while Sébastien Lecornu plans to bring together unions and employers on November 9.
