The examination of the pension bill before the Assembly's social affairs committee begins on Monday, before the text arrives in front of the hemicycle on February 6.

Faced with this, a second day of mobilization against the pension reform is scheduled for Tuesday.

After the success of January 19, where more than a million people marched throughout France, the eight main employee unions still want to score points.

A massive mobilization throughout France 

According to a general information note consulted by Europe 1, the objective of the trade unions is to maintain the high degree of motivation of their members against the pension reform.

The unions intend to capitalize on the start of a successful mobilization.

Between 1 million and 1,200,000 people are expected Tuesday throughout France, figures similar to those of the mobilization of January 19.

In Paris, intelligence forecasts between 70 and 100,000 people, in the regions mobilization should also be strong with, for example, 29,000 people in Toulouse.

In addition, the executive is worried about the presence of radical elements, in particular the ultra-left, which could disrupt the processions in Paris but also in several cities such as Pau, Brest, Bordeaux, Lille or Montpellier.

Finally, high school students could join the movement en masse.

The inter-union appeals to the student unions to encourage them to block the establishments, via social networks in particular.

The other source of concern for the government are the yellow vests who could try to degenerate the demonstrations.

Between 1,000 and 1,200 yellow vests are expected Tuesday in the capital.
