Overview
- The Paris edition of La Nuit du Bien Commun went ahead on December 4 at the Folies Bergère and collected roughly €700,000 for 12 associations, according to organizers.
- Several hundred protesters from groups including CGT, Solidaires and Attac gathered nearby, with a police source citing about 350 participants.
- Disruptive actions included fireworks and mortar-style devices launched from the roof, a “Paris antifa” banner on the facade, and stink bombs inside that briefly interrupted the program.
- A large CRS presence kept demonstrators at a distance and intervened at the venue’s entrances as security staff secured access points.
- Organizers say the event is apolitical and note Stérin’s departure from the board, while critics highlight his continued support via related funding structures and cite earlier withdrawals and cancellations in cities such as La Rochelle and Aix‑en‑Provence; the next edition is scheduled in Bordeaux on December 10.
