A nationwide strike across France's public sector on September 29, 2026 saw more than 170 demonstrations spread across 91 departments, from Paris and Marseille to Lille and Toulouse. Commenters say the scale of unrest is large while media coverage has been notably quiet, with the phrase 'France is burning' circulating widely.

Why now: The sheer scale of simultaneous protests, combined with claims that major outlets are underreporting them, is driving attention.
