Overview
- An intelligence note dated September 1 projects about forty city demonstrations alongside roughly twenty economic blockades across France on September 10.
- Priority targets flagged include fuel depots, logistics platforms such as Amazon sites, shopping centers, airports, rail lines, and universities, with tactics ranging from free‑toll actions to possible sabotage.
- Security services report no identifiable leaders and say organizers favor in‑person meetings with tightly restricted access, making actions harder to anticipate.
- Police in Paris plan to secure emblematic sites including the Élysée, Matignon, ministries, the National Assembly, and the Senate, while regional prefectures are on alert.
- A security source says the movement has shifted under far‑left and ultraleft influence and notes uncertainty about turnout, with particular attention on potential student and high‑school participation and stronger actions possible in the west around Rennes and Nantes.
