While calls to demonstrate have been circulating on social networks for weeks, opinions differ within the opposition on the course of action to follow before October 17, a movement relaunched by high school anger.
The left overwhelmingly supports the mobilization. The rebels, very involved alongside high school students since the start of the blockades, publicly support the calls to demonstrate, like the deputy Aurélien Le Coq who believes in the convergence of struggles.
Among environmentalists, MP Léa Balage El Mariky is worried about a possible violent police repression, saying she is surprised at the way in which the government is responding to this demonstration, while an elected official from the National Rally calls on the government to listen to the different angers.
