Tuesday March 28’s “day of action” saw new mass protests and strikes throughout France against the government.

Robert Bechert, cwi
At this time (Early afternoon Tuesday 28th March) it is clear that these protests have been much bigger than the 1.5 million who demonstrated throughout France on Saturday March 18, a largely non-working day.
In Marseilles alone it is reported that between 200,000 and 250,000 were on the streets compared with 130,000 on March 18. Thibault, secretary of the CGT trade union, said that 3 million were marching in demonstrations. Protests that Le Pen, the leader of the extreme right National Front, denounced as “totally illegal”. The right wing paper, Le Figaro, said that the national mobilisation left prime minister Villepin “isolated”.

I have just heard RTE 'Six One' television news describe those that broke-in to shops during todays protests in France as " doing so under cover of the protest march... " .

When the same thing happened here (on February 25 last) RTE described those that did so as " those taking part in the protest... " .

Frogs legs on their tongues , perhaps ....
