In France, a wave of discontent is sweeping across the nation as citizens react to President Emmanuel Macron's appointment of Michel Barnier as Prime Minister.

Despite a left-leaning victory in the recent legislative elections, Macron's decision to align with the right-wing Les Républicains has sparked outrage among voters who feel betrayed.

This Saturday, September 21, over 50 protests are planned nationwide, organized by feminist, ecological, and youth groups, alongside leftist parties like La France insoumise and Les Verts.

The demonstrations aim to challenge what is perceived as a "hard-right, anti-social" government.

Previous protests have seen significant turnout, with numbers varying between official counts and organizers' estimates.

The protests are set to take place in major cities including Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, and Nice, as citizens demand their voices be heard.
