A young woman is holding a placard that reads, ''Democracy isn't the law of majority but the protection of minorities! Albert Camus.'' Several thousand people are demonstrating in Toulouse, France, on January 20, 2023, against the 'Darmamin' law proposed by the French Ministry of Interior, which targets immigration, refugees, and migrants. The law aims to drastically limit or even stop state medical aid, social security, and social benefits to refugees or migrants arriving in France. Many are opposing this law for various reasons. University presidents and professors are against it, arguing that the law contradicts the values of the French Republic and the long-standing tradition of French universities being open to the world. They are concerned that international students will face higher fees than French students and a 'bail of return.' Medical workers are protesting the potential elimination of state medical aid, emphasizing the importance of treating illnesses before they become too severe or expensive to cure. Entrepreneurs are also opposed, citing their need for this workforce for low-paid or seasonal jobs. Teachers are objecting because the law would make knowledge of the French language mandatory, and they argue that there are insufficient resources to teach French to newcomers, including children. The Constitutional Council is set to deliver its opinion on the constitutionality of the law on January 25th.

Dressed in protest attire, a woman holds a pink shield reading "Don't let the pension reform harm women again" as more than 60,000 people (80,000 according to the unions) take to the streets of Toulouse for the second time in two weeks to oppose the proposed pension and retirement age reform. Labour unions across France have jointly called for a day of major strikes and protests against President Emmanuel Macron's government, whose plans to reform the pension system and raise the retirement age to 64 from 62 have been met with disapproval from the vast majority (93%) of workers already facing a cost-of-living crisis. Nearly all sectors of the workforce have called for the strike and protest, including miners and energy workers, healthcare workers, teachers, truck drivers, refinery workers, and bank workers. The retirement age would be raised to 64 years (for 43 years of continued work) and pensions would be lower, particularly for women, those with "short careers" and those on low wages. The COR (Counsel of Pension Guidance), which is directly under the Prime Minister's Office, stated in its latest report on September 2022 that there is no need to reform the pension system, as its share in the French GDP is expected to remain steady until at least 2070. Toulouse, France, January 31st 2023.
