More demos are again planned for Saturday January 11th in Paris, with both pension reform and ‘gilets jaunes’ protests set to take place. The double protest will then make its way through Place de la Bastille and end in Place de la République. Unions have called for protests across the country to keep the pressure on the government as they aim to force it to back track on its controversial pension reform. In terms of SNCF strike action this weekend, four TGV trains out of every five will be operational as opposed to only two Intercités out of every five services. Saturday and Sunday will be the 38th and 39th consecutive days of strikes against France’s controversial pension reform.
