May Day Protest In Toulouse
Researchers hold a banner reading 'Money for our pensions, not for war. For Public research: no to cuts in the budget, no to war between laboratories, yes for a better pay'. On May Day or Labour Day, thousands of people take to the streets in Toulouse, France, on May 1, 2025. Trade unionists, people, yellow vests, anarchists, and members of political parties come to the demonstration. This year, people are worried about what French President Emmanuel Macron will do regarding defense and social issues, as he, like other Western leaders, wants to push for defense spending. The French government says French people will be asked to make efforts on the French social model to pay for defense. Antiracism, antifascism, and the Gaza war are also mottos of the march.
