National “Marches des libertés” oppose the Global Security bill

← Back to Dashboard
📅 28 November 2020 📍 France

A national day of marches drew press unions, human-rights groups and residents opposing the bill’s restrictions on recording police and its expanded surveillance provisions. The Interior Ministry counted about 133,000 participants nationwide; organizers gave a substantially higher estimate. In Paris, violence and police responses became part of the news cycle, while organizers insisted that the central issue was protection of civil liberties and the right to document state power.
