May Day
All across France, a nearly unprecedented one million people, with over 400,000 in Paris alone, turned out for the annual May Day marches organized by unions and the Left. This mobilization against Le Pen, which drew significant numbers of youth and ethnic minorities, was for many their first political demonstration. Elsewhere too, May Day drew a very large participation. Some 500,000 came out in Berlin, with hundreds of thousands in Rome. London and Israeli-occupied Ramallah also had significant actions. We will carry a full report in our June issue. |
