The essential
Faced with the union's call to mobilize "massively" this Thursday against the pension reform project, very large disruptions are to be expected, particularly in transport and schools.
On Wednesday, the government spokesperson called not to transform the mobilization into a "blockage".
More than 10,000 police and gendarmes are mobilized, according to Gérald Darmanin, who mentioned the expected presence of "1,000 potentially violent individuals".

The SNCF provides for “very severely disrupted” traffic with one TGV in three, or even one in five depending on the line, and barely one TER in ten on average.
The Paris metro will also be reduced to the essentials, with three lines closed, ten others open "only at peak times" and a "risk of saturation" on the last three, according to the RATP.
