Boulevard de Magenta The unified union procession leaves the Gare du Nord but is blocked for more than two hours, in the middle of the Boulevard de Magenta which leads to the Place de la République. The atmosphere is cheerful, the music and anti-capitalist slogans are everywhere

Place de la République The incidents began with the fire in a construction unit at the start of rue du Château d'Eau. The black blocs - a very heterogeneous population from what I have heard in the field - want to do battle with the mobile police units. Tear gas and sound bombs on the program, scooters as a bonfire ...

Boulevard Voltaire The union procession - Solidaires in the lead - resumes its journey towards the Place de la Nation, the demonstrators take the opportunity to eat a bite and rest a little

Place de la Nation Clashes erupt as a CRS company protects an agency of Société Générale. The demonstrators still present at the end of the afternoon are born on the place, the device does not leave room to chance. Finally, the last piece of the union procession arrives two hours late, with loud loudspeakers and bengal lights, before dispersing through the Cours de Vincennes.
