Nearly 91,000 people took part in protests across France, said the interior ministry. Many of those marching highlighted the growing strength of reactionary political forces, in France but also in the United States.

Summary

Tens of thousands protested across France on against racism and the rise of the far right, with 91,000 participants nationwide and 21,500 in Paris.

Demonstrators condemned the influence of reactionary politics in France and the U.S., including the growing popularity of Marine Le Pen’s far-right party.

Some protesters criticized government ministers for embracing far-right ideas.

The protests coincided with the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination amid increasing racist and anti-Semitic acts.
