Several hundred "angry municipal people" gathered at the foot of the Montparnasse Tower. They want better recognition of their work, as well as an increase in remuneration and retirements.

A tripartite meeting was held in the afternoon at Place Beauvau with the representative unions, the Minister Delegate in charge of Communities Dominique Faure and representatives of the Association of Mayors of France. “An agreement is envisaged, there has been progress on both sides and a joint declaration will take place on March 27,” the minister's office said.
