(ANSA) - PARIS, JAN 31 - War of numbers on the participants in the demonstration in Paris, and more generally in the marches throughout France.
The figure of half a million for the Parisian march, announced by the communist union CGT at the beginning of the afternoon, contrasts with that of 87,000 for the police and even 55,000 - eleventh compared to the CGT - by Occurrence, an independent observatory which includes several French media, among such as BFM-TV.
The CGT speaks tonight of 2.8 million protesters across France.
