“Bloquons Tout” movement, latest update.
France is set to face widespread protests, transport disruptions, and school closures tomorrow, Wednesday, September 10th, as part of the nationwide movement known as “Bloquons Tout” ("Let’s Block Everything"). Backed by several unions the protests aim to denounce working conditions, budget cuts, and what organizers describe as growing social and economic inequality.

Morning flights on Wednesday are not included in this mandatory cut, so many are still operating, but delays and last-minute cancellations are still possible.
