About fifty demonstrations were organized across France on Saturday, September 21, against the “rejection of democracy” due to President Emmanuel Macron’s appointment of Prime Minister Michel Barnier, writes Franceinfo.
The protests were organized by labor unions, student and environmental organizations, as well as left-wing political forces, especially Unconquered France.
They accuse Macron of refusing to appoint as prime minister a representative of the united left coalition that won the largest number of representatives in the National Assembly after early elections in early July.

Rallies, among others, are already taking place in Bordeaux, Marseille and Paris. In the end, the organizers announced the participation of 20 to 40 thousand people, but there is no official number of participants yet.
Let’s remember that on September 5, Macron appointed Michel Barnier as Prime Minister and instructed him to form the country’s new government.
And on September 7, thousands of people in various French cities came out to protest.
