📅 2 May 2025 📍 France

A national decision made the “cahiers de doléances” from the Grand Débat available to the public in departmental and national archives. The books contain tens of thousands of records and hundreds of thousands of written contributions created during the Yellow Vest crisis and its aftermath. Their opening renewed the question of whether citizen testimony would be studied and acted on, or simply preserved without political response.
