This Saturday, a dozen youth associations are mobilizing against the pension reform.

A new demonstration organized in Paris, two days after the great mobilization of Thursday, supported by insubordinate France.

If this mobilization is not followed by the unions, everyone hopes that young people will be there.

The mobilization against the pension reform is getting a facelift with a march organized in Paris at the call of a dozen youth associations.

Two days only after the big day of mobilization on Thursday.

With this event, supported by La France insoumise, the associations hope to mobilize young people and attract new profiles.

"We expect a good mobilization"

Young people are on the streets again, but this time on a Saturday.

The objective is to take advantage of the weekend to mobilize as much as possible.

"It will mobilize a lot because on Saturday afternoon, we have no class. We will organize ourselves so that high school students can express themselves fully in the debate and we expect a good mobilization for this date", explains Lori Chrétienne, president of the high school student union, the Independent and Democratic Federation of High School Students (FIDL).

“Everyone is eager to return to the demonstrations”

The associations intend to benefit from the momentum generated by the first day of action last Thursday.

"It was an absolutely historic mobilization. It galvanized the people a little and I think everyone is in a hurry: to put their sneakers back on and go back to the demonstrations", explains Éléonore Schmitt, door -speaker of the student union L'Alternative. 

"I think that this date of the 21st is timely, in particular to mobilize students, high school students, young people in general on the subject, and also to show that precisely, pensions are also a matter for young people", adds -she.
