Overview

• LFI’s leader urged a day of nationwide stoppages on 10 September and linked it to a censure motion he said will be filed on 23 September to try to bring down François Bayrou’s government.
• LFI, the Greens and the Communists have endorsed the 10 September mobilisation, while the Socialists strike a cautious tone as unions including the CGT and FO weigh their stance.
• CGT chief Sophie Binet warns the decentralised action remains nebulous and could face attempts at far‑right infiltration, with union decisions expected after internal meetings and an inter‑union on 1 September.
• At their Strasbourg summer university, the Greens pressed for a unified left for 2027, citing a July accord to set primary rules by end‑2025, as Marine Tondelier vowed to present a strong candidacy.
• LFI refused accreditation to Le Monde reporter Olivier Pérou at its AmFis, prompting protests from the newspaper’s leadership and press representatives, even as a poll showed 63% support for the 10 September call.
