Overview

• The nationwide mobilization branded “Bloquons tout” is scheduled for 10 September with calls to block the country.
• A Jean‑Jaurès Institute analysis profiles participants as predominantly young, degree‑holding and firmly left‑wing, with 69% reporting a Mélenchon vote and 10% a Poutou vote.
• Researchers and reporters say the initiative, which surfaced in sovereignist circles in mid‑July, has been largely taken over by radical‑left networks.
• Operational plans remain unclear as many self‑declared supporters report no specific actions they intend to take, reflecting a leaderless, decentralized structure.
• Organizing runs through Telegram channels where thousands prepare, while priorities center on social and fiscal inequality, environmental protection and purchasing power, with high second‑round abstention indicating low overlap with the far right.
