Hundreds of thousands of leftists took to the streets across France on Saturday to protest the alleged threat to democracy posed by the possibility of people voting for the populist National Rally party of Marine Le Pen in the impending snap election called by President Macron.
The ministry said that the second-largest gathering was seen in Marseille where an estimated 12,000 people protested, followed by Nantes with 8,500, Rennes with 8,000, Grenoble with 6,900, and Toulouse with 5,000. At the Place de la Bastille — the starting point for the French Revolution — the July Column was tagged with graffiti by leftists who wrote “Free Gaza” and “Bardella FDP” in reference to the popular 28-year-old president of the anti-mass migration National Rally party.
However, his decision to call for a snap election has seemingly smoothed over the divisions on the left, with the four largest leftist parties, the Socialists, the green Les Écologists, and the French Communist Party, and La France Insoumise of Jean-Luc Mélenchon coming together for an election alliance dubbed the “New Popular Front” which takes its name from a similar alliance in France ahead of World War II.
